ANU NEWS V6.0-3. I have been a USENET participant for quite some time,

If you know this ANU NEWS software and have a suggestion, I'm listening.
Otherwise, even though this will be a multi-part FAQ, I won't be able to
manipulate "Supersedes" or "References".

fields in the header - Reply-To, Distribution, Followup-To, Keywords,
Expires, and Summary. That's it.
