Well, the quotes are printed around almost all literal examples, see 
(info "(texinfo)samp").

But maybe we should add an example with ssh to (info "(gnus)Example
Methods")?

Here's an example for an indirect connection:
@lisp
(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nntp "indirect"
             (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet)
             (nntp-via-address "intermediate.host.example")
	     (nntp-address "the.real.nntp.host")
             (nntp-via-rlogin-command "ssh")
             (nntp-via-rlogin-command-switches ("-C" "-t" "-e" "none"))
             (nntp-end-of-line "\n")))
@end lisp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye, Reiner.
