The menu-bar provide this all:

<menu-bar> <Groups> <Foreign groups> <Make a virtual group> runs the
command gnus-group-make-empty-virtual

<menu-bar> <Groups> <Foreign groups> <Add a group to a virtual> runs the
command gnus-group-add-to-virtual

G V runs the command gnus-group-make-empty-virtual
G v runs the command gnus-group-add-to-virtual

Does it help? Maybe your menu-bar differ from mine.

Thanks. Doesn't  work though. It won't  let me add  a group. Complains
the group to be added is not virtual. What's up with that?
