	I use Gnews as my news reader.  It works pretty well.  I 
especially like the indexing capability of Gnews.  
	Gnews is a little sluggish at times though.  Going from
one news group to another can take anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds.
When a new news group arrives it can take 30 to 60 seconds to 
get the names of the new groups.
	One feature missing from Gnews that I would really like
is a dired mode on all the news group names (an option for subscribed
groups only, or all news groups).  One could move randomly through all
the news group names reading only those that interested them that day.


	Does GNUS solve any of the problems I have with Gnews?
	What features does GNUS have that Gnews doesn't and vice versa?

	
		Thanks for any help.
