I see you've never used this version of Pnews before. I will give you extra
help this first time through, but then you must remember what you learned.
If you don't understand any question, type h and a CR (carriage return) for
help.
If you've never posted an article to the net before, it is HIGHLY recommended
that you read the netiquette document found in net.announce.newusers so
that you'll know to avoid the commonest blunders. To do that, interrupt
Pnews, and get to the top-level prompt of rn. Say "g net.announce.newusers"
and you are on your way.

A temporary file has been created for you to edit. Be sure to leave at
least one blank line between the header and the body of your message.
(And until a certain bug is fixed all over the net, don't start the body of
your message with any indentation, or it may get eaten.)
Within the header may be fields that you don't understand. If you don't
understand a field (or even if you do), you can simply leave it blank, and
it will go away when the article is posted.
Type return to get the default editor, or type the name of your favorite

Type the name of one or more newsgroups to which you wish to post an article.
If you want to post to multiple newsgroups, it is better to do them all at

reading programs' strategies of eliminating duplicates.
Separate multiple newsgroup names with commas.

The Distribution line may be used to limit the distribution of an article
to some subset of the systems that would receive the article based only on
the Newsgroups line. For example, if you want to sell your car in net.auto,
and you live in New Jersey, you might want to put "nj" on the Distribution
line to avoid advertising in California, which has enough problems of its own.
The actual area designators to use depend on where you are, of course.
