The comp.emacs group is for discussions about emacs editors in general, or emacsen in plural form. There are a lot of them, but many questions there tend to be about GNU Emacs because it is the most popular one. The gnu.emacs.help group is a support group for GNU Emacs only. It is also a mailing list (help-gnu-emacs) and has higher activity than comp.emacs. I suggest you use this newsgroup unless you want to reach users of other emacsen.
