  I am sorry, but it is a secret that I will not tell you. :)

  In your home directory (of an HP UNIX or similar system), make an ascii
file with your favorite editor, and save it under the name '.signature'.
It will automatically be appended to newsgroup posts, and it can be appended
to newsgroup private mail via the prompt when saving a message.

  Or, you could make a macro, as found in JR Comm (40 macros) or Handshake
(6 macros).

  Or, you could just type it by hand, like I do!
