- SYNOPSIS

- 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.
-
- The -h form is used when invoked from 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 rn passes to Pnews.
