OK, I think I've found a way. The 'B' command seems just to be a
convenience to add a server and browse it from the group buffer. You
can do what you want manually by entering the server buffer with '^',
adding a server with 'a', and then editing that server's select method
with 'e'. Then browse away.

Hope that helps.
