The claim was that the problem with the 'f' command was that it didn't
put you into an editor.  Well, our site is running version 2.9 of News,
and if you have EDITOR defined in your environment (and exported...) to
the name of some editor, the 'f' command will place you into that editor.
In fact, I am using ex to compose this article.  If people would read
the documentation, mayby they would discover nifty features like this.
If your news doesn't have this feature, get on the back of your local
administrator, because it has been available for at least a year!
