+This can also be used as a group-specific hook function. If you want to
+hear a beep when you enter a group, you could put something like
+@code{(dummy-variable (ding))} in the parameters of that group.
+@code{dummy-variable} will be set to the (meaningless) result of the
+@code{(ding)} form.
+
+Alternatively, since the VARIABLE becomes local to the group, this
+pattern can be used to temporarily change a hook. For example, if the
+following is added to a group parameter
+
+@lisp
+(gnus-summary-prepared-hook
+ '(lambda nil (local-set-key "d" (local-key-binding "n"))))
+@end lisp
+
+when the group is entered, the 'd' key will not mark the article as
+expired.
