I'm misunderstanding something about suspension of a GNUS session.
In *Newsgroup* mode, the documentation says:

  `z'
       Suspend the current GNUS session to make it possible to resume it
       later (`gnus-Group-suspend').

and then

  If a GNUS session is suspended by the command `z'
  (`gnus-Group-suspend'), it is possible to resume it later without any
  time-consuming initializations.  Switch to the Newsgroup buffer and type
  `g' (`gnus-Group-get-new-news') to get newly arrived articles if you
  want to resume the suspended GNUS session.


MY ERROR?:  I suspend GNUS with `z', leave the workstation idle for
several hours, come back and switch to the *Newsgroup* buffer, type
`g' and see a message (approx)  "Process NNTP not running..."

Is this supposed to happen?  Is there a way to "suspend" GNUS for
several hours or days so that I can restart it very quickly (say, by
not checking for new newsgroups --just continuing reading the ones had?)
