Oops! Helps to test things out before posting.
Here's the final entry in my gnus file. I've used the other syntax
here as an example as well for my own reference.
;;; my_news_server and my_news_ports are set in the ~/.emacs file
(setq gnus-select-method
(list 'nntp my_news_server
(list 'nntp-port-number my_news_port)))
; alternate syntax for setting the list
;(setq gnus-select-method
; `(nntp ,my_news_server
; `(nntp-port-number ,my_news_port)))
thanks to all who helped!!
