M P a is `gnus-uu-mark-all'.  My instructions were a small variation on

(info "(gnus) Incorporating Old Mail") 

where Lars instead (for some reason) uses M P b, or
`gnus-uu-mark-buffer'.  Both of these commands exploit the Gnus concept
of the "process mark" described in 

(info "(gnus) Setting Process Marks")

which you'll become familiar with as you do more operations on large
globs of messages.
