Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I've been off the
net for 5 weeks and wasn't working on C news before.

The C news version of inews looks in the file $NEWCTL/server
for the name of the server machine.  If the running machine
is not the server, relaynews is run remotely using a command
like:

	rsh $server PATH=$PATH relaynews ...

This doesn't work for me, as I use csh, which doesn't take the
PATH=$PATH syntax.  In addition, this won't work for users here that
will not have accounts on our news server machine.

Is there a fix (preferably not involving nntp) for this?  For now,
I'm hardcoding the path of relaynews in the rsh command.
