_P_o_s_t_n_e_w_s provides a simple interactive interface for posting
news. It prompts the user for the _n_e_w_s_g_r_o_u_p if it is not
given as an argument (more than one group can be given, with
groups separated by commas but no white space), prompts for
the article's subject, drops the user into his choice of
text editor with a prototype article, checks (when the
editor terminates) that the article has been edited
reasonably, and then posts it.
If the article has not been written out from the editor, or
if the editing instructions in the prototype do not appear
to have been followed, _p_o_s_t_n_e_w_s gives the user a choice
between abandoning the posting or re-editing it.

There are zillions of marginally-useful features that it
could have but doesn't.
