-Um. I don't recall that there is one. I just type !Pnews.

From the man page for rn:
	f	submit a followup article.  If on a nonexistant
		article such as the "End of Newsgroup" pseudo
		article (which you can get to with the '$' command),
		post an original article (basenote).

I had the same question.  Didn't figure it out till you folks here helped me
figure out how to print the man page. :-)

Of course, this works for rn only (as far as I know).  I don't know about the
various other news readers.
