I did an improved version and posted here; the only thing I did different this time was that I didn't cross-post to news.software.readers. I'll try cross-posting to alt.test and newsreader.test to see if that's the problem. Anyway, perhaps you didn't get my earlier point about what I'm trying to achieve because I didn't explain that I'm using a spool for the news. I get the news with slrnpull and it goes into the archives so I don't have to worry about Gnus connecting to the internet all the time. I don't worry about *keeping* or *losing* articles because I already have them and will expire them when I so choose. I handle expiration, not Gnus, but I would still want to be able to mark them as expirable (E) with the understanding that once I say expire they will not be shown next session. Those that I read will get marked with R but will continue to show up on the summary session after session (perhaps marked O in subsequent ones) until I expire them too. The problem is that Gnus treats the R and E marks as commands to delete or expire when exiting the current session, and I want it to mark them and leave the commanding to me, in the current or subsequent sessions. -- "The world of existence is an emanation of the merciful attribute of God."
