	One of the sites I feed news to has asked me to turn off news for a
little while because his /usr/spool is too full.  What's the best way to do
that?  I just put a line in /usr/lib/news/batchparms with 0 for the third
field (queue length).  Was this the right thing to do?  What I used to do
in cases like this under B news was to edit the sys file, but that's always
a mess so I don't like to play with it any more than I have to.
