Thank you for your ideas, I really appreciate the time people took to consider
this problem.  The symbolic link solution is good way is of integrating gnus &
MH but what I'd really like to do is maintain two MH paths, one for mail and
one for news.  I do not wish to intermix my news and mail folders or
subfolders.  

To achieve this end I currently have two MH profiles in my home directory, one
for news (.mh_news) and one for mail (.mh_mail).  To switch between them I set
the environment variable $MH to one or the other.  This allows greater
flexibility in news and mail viewing as you can design different filters and
options for each.

The problem with gnus is it doesn't allow you to set up a default path for
folder saves (guns-article-save-directory does not apply to folder saves or any
saves done with rcvstore.  Rcvstore writes to the directory specified in your
.mh_profile Path variable), nor is there any way I can think of to incorporate
a setenv MH command into the gnus-default-article-saver.

The solution I'm currently working in involves writing a new function for
gnus-default-article-saver that will allow me to specify where I want my folder
saves to go.

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.
