One thing that might be nice is to create a sample emacs file with some of the features that Weemba discussed in his document. I am not a emacs hacker, and can barely write 2 lines of elisp, but I took his examples in the manual and made one large section in my .emacs file (295 lines long). It is likely filled with things set wrong, but it does a lot of nice things for me. Also - a sample .gnewsrc.hook file would be nice, especially one that displayed the comp.sources.{misc,unix,sun,x} sources without the From field. I tried to do this, but the index always shows the same poster, and truncates the subject line. I have the old gnews 2.0 and am getting the new one as we speak. This is what I have, and it doesn't work right. ("comp.sources.(unix|games|misc)" (pre nil gnews-set (quote index-headers) "Subject") (pre nil gnews-set (quote index-format) "%s") (pre nil gnews-set (quote index-filter) (quote (identity))) (pre nil gnews-set (quote index-sizes) (quote (nil))) (pre nil index-if) ) I have no idea if I am doing it right. -- Bruce G.
