To list gnus-secondary-select-methods add an item like
(nnmaildir "" (directory "~/Maildir"))
So the whole gnus-secondary-select-methods would look something like
this:
((nnml "")
(nnmaildir "" (directory "~/Maildir"))
(nntp "news.gmane.org")
(nntp "news.whatever.invalid"))
I don't use "primary" select methods so I have set gnus-select-method to
this:
(gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))

The Gnus manual is probably the worst I have ever seen. User must first
learn Gnus quite well by using it and then the manual starts being
somewhat useful.
