My ISP recently switched newsfeeds in a big way. Since then, I've
gotten no new news via Gnus in any newsgroup except one (wow -- say
that 10x fast!). I suspect it's because the new news server's
articles have a smaller article # than my old one did, so gnus thinks
I've read the articles already. Short of editing .newsrc.eld, is
there anything I can do to "reset" this? Or do I have a totally
different problem? Thanks!
An email reply is appreciated, as, well, I don't see any new articles
in Gnus :) I will be checking via Google, though. Thanks!!

Silly me, didn't look hard enough in the Info file. OK, so this has
exactly what I want, except I don't understand one part:

`----
Does move in this sense mean to literally move the files someplace
else (i.e. $ mv xxx yyy)? How would I access them still? What
happens if I don't? Thanks much!
