problem viewing zombie (new) groups

[bob...@mailinator.com]

I want to view all the groups available from my nntp server. In the
groups buffer I type A z, but it says no zombie groups. I try A k and
it just brings up two starter groups I killed. How can I get a list of
the entire nntp selection: the several hundred or maybe thousand groups
available?

brings up a buffer with a list of all the servers you have configured
gnus to care about. Hitting 'enter' on a server in that list will bring
up the full list of all groups on that particular server.

Great! It worked, I got a long list. How can I save it so gnus always
has it available? I don't mean in a simple text file, but save it in
some format or place so gnus doesn't have to download it again...so
within gnus, when I want to add a new group, it can reference the
list. It might be some time out-of-date, but that's ok.
