I have my news server set in my .gnus.el file, but you should be able to set your NNTPSERVER environment variable (I guess emacs picks that up; it picks up my BROWSER environment variable). I use tcsh, so this is how NNTPSERVER is set in my .cshrc: setenv NNTPSERVER 'name_of_newsserver' HTH, Emily ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
