When we use to run Bnews, we were given the option of adding a
recording to remind people not to post company information, etc.
As I read through the Pnews script, I find:

#: play recorded message
set X `$sed < $tmpart -n -e '/^Newsgroups: /{' -e p -e q -e '}'`
shift
case $# in
0|1)
    ;;
*)
    shift
    if $test -s ${lib}/recording ; then
         ng=`$echo $1 | $sed "s/,.*//"`
        _rec1=${lib}/`$sed -n "/^$ng/s/^.*      //p" ${lib}/recording`
        _tmp=`$echo $ng |$sed "s/\..*//"`
        _rec2=${lib}/`$cat -s ${lib}/recording|$grep ${_tmp}.all|$sed "s/^.*
  //"`  
        if $test -f ${_rec1} ; then
            $cat -s ${_rec1}
        fi
        if $test -f ${_rec2} ; then
            $cat -s ${_rec2}
        fi
    fi
    ;; 
esac


I have the file /usr/local/lib/rn/recording present, but it is not
being read.  Am I interpreting the script incorrectly, or is there
more to it than just having the recording file present?

Thanks.
