For your case, A M (`gnus-group-list-all-matching'). Try A M python RET. Also, U from the *Group* buffer will give you a completion-enabled list. This is a particularly quick way to search if you are also using (setq gnus-completing-read-function 'gnus-ido-completing-read); you will then have narrowing by partial matches in the prompt. Best, WGG Thanks very much that's very useful. I have gotten a little further with it today. I have managed to subscribe to a few groups and read one or two posts including one which contained how to config gnus for IMAP, which is my next task. Now I have the problem of understanding why the posts all disappear when I close Emacspeak and go back in. I will get there. Mike -- Michael A.
