   Can someone tell me the syntax of a gnus kill file?  All of my
   attempts up to now haven't worked...

Try this, from my News/control/KILL:

(gnus-kill "Subject" "cancel")
(gnus-expunge "X")

When editing a kill file via M-K in the *Subject* buffer, try
	C-c C-k C-a
and	C-c C-k C-s
It does most of the work for you.

PS- Yes, some of us actually do _read_ control.
