>How do you moderate a newsgroups using a vms-machine running v. 5.9C?
     
a) tell your local NEWS system that the newsgroup IS moderated, and that you are
the moderator of the newsgroup.
	NEWS>SET NEWSGROUP/MODERATOR=your-mail-address
     
b) Use VMS MAIL to EXTRACT those postings which are news postings to yourself
   as moderator.
     
	MAIL> EXTRACT/ALL moderator.mail
     
c) Add these items into NEWS
     
	NEWS> ADD FILE moderator.mail/MODERATOR
     
this last command will ensure that the postings will have the appropriate
"Approved:" header attached.
