Everything is basically correct, except you don't need to do uux of
cunbatch.  If you look at the source code for inews (Is checkbatch()
the right routine?  or is the check delayed until it reaches unbatch?)
you'll see that it checks for the "magic number" that compress puts in
and if it's compressed sends the article through cunbatch.

What that boils down to is that you use csendbatch to send the
stuff but you don't need to use that system.cmd file as you said
to do in your help file.

Oh.  I'm talking here about version 2.10.3 alpha 4/3/85.  But I doubt
anything changed before your version reached you.
