<3 fine arguments> 

Ok, I don't have a problem with the arguments. However, I'm stuck with
the UWashington server, and gnus is not happy with groups with slashes
in the names; there's a regexp in gnus-group-make-group that doesn't
allow them. And lots of existing gnus code depends on being able to
write to a file with the the group name. (Right now for a mailbox like
~/IMAP/whatever, I get ~/News/cache/~/Imap/whatever, which is correct,
sort of, but pretty darn annoying). Isn't there some way around this?
nndoc gets around this by making the path part of the server name, I
think.
