If you've never posted an article to the net before, it is HIGHLY recommended that you read the netiquette document found in news.announce.newusers so that you'll know to avoid the commonest blunders. To do that, interrupt Pnews, get to the top-level prompt of [t]rn, and use the command "g news.announce.newusers" to go to that group.
