// to have cnet's newsmanager perform a post, file a single FILLED in
// NRQFile structure to a file (with any UNIQUE filename with a .NRQ
// extension) to CNETNEWSBOX (defined above).
//
// The data file MUST be written first. Make sure the DATA filename without
// path is placed in the NRQ structure's FileName field. The data file can be
// any UNIQUE filename as long as it does not have a .nrq extension
//
// The data file MUST be a properly structured news item following RFC822
// guidelines. An example follows:
//
// Most of the header is not required but the SUBJECT should exist in the header!
// Also, the blank line (0x0A) between header and body is MANDATORY.
//
//
//--- SAMPLE RFC 822 header - Notice only part of the RFC-822 header is completed.  news-task will fill in the rest.
// Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.introduction
// Subject: A test message
// Followup-To: comp.sys.amiga.introduction
// Expires: Thursday, 25-Dec-97 00:00:00 EST
// 
// This is the body text of this message, written after a blank line which
// separates body from header
//--- END OF SAMPLE
// 
//
// When the NRQ file is closed, news-task will be notified that a new news
// item is to be posted and news-task will then process and post the
// news item to the news server.
