Grex Info Item 60: posting under trn; how?
Entered by sherlyn on Sat Aug 7 22:19:31 UTC 1993:

I can't seem to post an article to usenet.  Under tin, my title was posted,
but the text was stripped out. I was advised to try to post under trn or rn,
but I couldn't find any instructions on how to under the help command.  Does
anyone know how?  Thanks alot.

Posting articles from usenet requires Grex membership.  Non-members may
read and respond to posts via e-mail.

I think Sherlyn is a member & could use info on *how*, as she asked.  (I'd
help, but I only did it a couple of times.  But I think I found out how
from trn's help somewhere.  Someone may also have posted this information
in the info conference, to which this item will hopefully be linked soon.)

Sheryln,

If you're a Grex member, you can post to the newsgroups using the f or F
command.  You can also type either ? or help at the newsgroup prompt
and get a list of valid commands.

Actually, the best way to post to Usenet is with the Pnews program.
You can run this program by typing "Pnews" from a UNIX prompt and
"!Pnews" from a bbs prompt.

Also, when using a generic text editor to compose a message, don't
forget to SAVE before quiting.  :)

Hmmm.  Now that you mention it, that is a very likely cause of the
reported phenomenon.  (And not just with a generic editor, either.)

Hey, thanks for all the help!  I've been happily posting for a little while
now!
