Frankly, I don't know the best USENET path for someone to send mail to my DDN address, "towson@amsaa". I would be grateful if someone would tell me. Normally, when I reply to a message, I just issue the "answer" command to the mail program and let it get the return path from the header of the message being answered. You have just shown where that can get you with respect to USENET messages. It is also interesting to note that when I reply to you using the "answer" command, the return path is taken to be "wcwells%ucbopal.CC@ucb-vax", and not your preferred path "wcwells@berkeley (or ucb-vax)".
