	I am running version 2.10.2 of news on an a Vax 11/780 under Ultix 1.2,
and am attempting to install rn. The following problems are occuring:

1. A carraige return is required after all commands, not just the multi-
character commands, as stated in the man document. Rn seems to be responding 
correctly to the commands, but the inconvenience of 2 keystrokes for every 
command is a pain. Rn doesn't seem to be operating in the cbreak mode, as 
advertized.

2. When I attempt to post a follow-up article from between news groups I get:

>******** End of newsgroups--what next? [npq] f
>                                             ^
>Type h for help.

not a posting of an original article, as documented.

When I attempt to post a follow-up article from within an article I get:

>(leaving cbreak mode; cwd=/u2h/u1/abrams)
>Invoking command: Pnews -h /u1/abrams/.rnhead
>
>I see you've never used this version of Pnews before.  I will give you extra..
>				.
>				.
>dollars to send everywhere.  Please be sure you know what you are doing.
>
>Are you absolutely sure that you want to do this? [ny] y
>(re-entering cbreak mode)
>(Mail) End of article 404 (of 407)--what next? [npq] 
 
and no follow-up article is posted. The same things happen if 'F' is typed.
The leaving/re-entering cbreak mode messages come from respond.c, which appears
to have compiled properly.

Any help will be gratefully accepted.
					Thanks in advance.
