Summary: Make a filter and pipe through it

This is an easier way:

1. Make yourself a shell script named "rot" with this line in it:

   tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M

2. Don't forget to make it executable with: chmod +x rot

3. In the "rn" program you can give commands like:

   | /u/zben/rot | pr | lpr             (Makes a printed copy)
   | /u/zben/rot >/u/zben/savefile      (Saves it in file)

Many other news reading programs have similar exits for invoking pipes.
On this version I had to give the full path name of the filter.  Please
remember to substitute the name of the directory where your filter lives
for the "/u/zben" above.  The full name of the savefile was given above
because rn changes directories a lot, and I don't trust it.

Now, as an exercise to the reader, and to satisfy the requirements of
this group that postings need include a joke, x out and create the filter
and try to decode the remainder of this posting:
