Here is (partial) the text of the message I give to novice GNUS users.  It
contains a few setup things that automatically skips the 1500 new newsgroups
you get when you first startup:



STEP 1) In your .cshrc file, put the following three lines

    setenv EMACSLOADPATH "/usr/new/lib/emacs/lisp"
    setenv EMACSLOADPATH "/usr/new/lib/emacs/gnus:$EMACSLOADPATH"
    setenv EMACSLOADPATH "$home/emacs:$EMACSLOADPATH"

STEP 2)  Log out and back in.


STEP 3)  Create the file ~/.newsrc with the following contents (I selected
         these from a list of about 1500 newsgroups!):

comp.arch:
comp.lang.ada:
gnu.announce:
comp.binaries.ibm.pc:
alt.beer:



STEP 4)  Insert in your .emacs file:

;----- .emacs additions ----------


  ;The following definition subscribes a new newsgroup first, and then kills
  ;it.  The killed newsgroups can be added to the subscription list
  ;interactively using Browse-Killed Mode.

  (setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method
         '(lambda (newsgroup)
         (gnus-subscribe-newsgroup newsgroup)
         (gnus-kill-newsgroup newsgroup)))

;----- end .emacs additions ----------



STEP 5) Start a new emacs from scratch and type ESC-x and the command "gnus"
