| 54 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 55 | Pnews is a friendly interface for posting news articles. | |
| 56 | It will ask several questions, then allow you to enter your article, | |
| 57 | and then post it using the inews(1) program. | |
| 58 | If you type h and a carriage return at any point, | |
| 59 | .I Pnews | |
| 60 | will tell you what it wants to know. | |
| 61 | .PP | |
| 62 | The -h form is used when invoked from | |
| 63 | .IR rn . | |
| 64 | If your editor can edit multiple files, and you want the article to which | |
| 65 | you are replying to show up as an alternate file, define the environment | |
| 66 | variable NEWSPOSTER as \*(L"Pnews -h %h %A\*(R". | |

| 68 | header file that | |
| 69 | .I rn | |
| 70 | passes to Pnews. | |
