PROGRAM:
NAME
Pnews - a program for posting news articles
SYNOPSIS
Pnews newsgroup title
or
Pnews -h headerfile [oldarticle]
or
Pnews
DESCRIPTION
Pnews is a friendly interface for posting news articles. It will ask several questions,
then allow you to enter your article, and then post it using the inews(1) program. If you
type h and a carriage return at any point, Pnews will tell you what it wants to know.
If you put a .signature file in your home directory, your inews program will usually
append it to your message after you are done editing it. If you prefer to see your
signature while you are editing, rename your .signature file to be .news_sig and it will
be appended before you begin to edit. Note that .news_sig obeys the setting of DOTDIR,
but .signature may not, since it is out of Pnews's control. If both .news_sig and
.signature exist you'll get two signatures appended.
The -h form is used when invoked from trn or rn. If your editor can edit multiple files,
and you want the article to which you are replying to show up as an alternate file, define
the environment variable NEWSPOSTER as "Pnews -h %h %A". You can also modify the the
NEWSHEADER environment variable to change the header file that [t]rn passes to Pnews.
