   The only thing that concerns me is that I only changed the .newsrc and
   the gnus-newsrc-assoc; I have no cluse as to whether I should change
   the hashtables, too.  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.
