Masanobu, do the hashtables need to be modified too? I've used this for a paltry 10 or so group moves and it seems to be fine, but I'd still like to know whether the hashtables are okay to be left alone. Sorry for my late reply. I'm very busy now. Anyway, the answer to your question is that it depends. If you add new newsgroup entry to the assoc list, you also have to add it to the hashtable. If you only change the order of the list, you don't. I understand the newsgroup editing commands are useful and strongly required. So, I will add some new commands and a major mode for newsgroup editing in the next version of GNUS. They are based on McGrath's gnus-kill-ring stuff. The next version also includes some subroutines which are useful in writing your own newsgroup editing commands. If you use these routines, you don't have to worry about the consistency asked above. GNUS 3.12 is now in beta test at Fujitsu lab. Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.Fujitsu.JUNET umerin%flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET
