increase number of posts

[Baloff]

Hello
believe me, I don't stop reading manuals these days, just to find out
the little bitty 'how to do something' some times I was a how week.

C-h a number trying to find out how to increase the number of posts in
a group. it asked me when I pointed to it and hit <RET> I typed 10,
but now I need 100.

how do I just display my posts, or specific posts of personal
interest.

don't tell me to read the manual, if you do, tell me where and make
sure it is and clearly written. 

thanks

A few ideas:

Gnus' functions are often named after the buffer you want to do
something in.  So you can often do a C-h a summary, for example, to find
summary buffer fxns.

Also, C-h b will give you all the key bindings for the mode you're in.
You can poke around in there for interesting function names.

In the case above, I just went to the Gnus HTML manual online and looked
for summary buffer stuff.

thanks, how do you find something like this in the manual? I tried C-h a 
number, post. I get nothing related, even if I thought about C-h a limit 
it would not give me that place in the manual you provided the link for. 
is there a better way to search and find thing in the manual in my box?

For starters, C-h a isn't the Gnus manual; M-x apropos will list
variables in addition to commands, but that isn't the manual either.
Either look on the Web or in Emacs Info (C-h i g (gnus)).
