  I like the idea of tossing out the unused header lines by Pnews,
but in the way that it is done by rn#53, the entire article is
scanned for unused header lines.  This will cause lines like

	Summary:
,
	OBJ:
and
	Example:

to disappear from the entire article.  Which we don't want to happen.

==> Unoffical bugfix for removing blank lines from the header.
(OLD-Pnews.SH is Pnews.SH from rn#53.  Line numbers may be incorrect.)
