Well, I finally arrived at a work-around of sorts.
I removed the Gnus 5.8.3 package and then ran the gnus included with
Xemacs 21 package which happened to be Gnus 5.6.45. I found it worked
just fine, so after getting the groups I wanted I used it to kill the
nndoc+gnus-help:gnus-help group it installs with a new start, i.e. no
~/.newsrc* file of any sort. After doing this I re-installed Gnus 5.8.3
and find it now works flawlessly. It only retrieves the article count
for the subscribed groups and the in-line MIME is fantastic! Now I just
need to learn the basics of elisp and figure how to customize Xemacs and
Gnus for a kick @$$ newsreader.
Thanks to everyone that offered help.
