Has anybody noticed that the "tty" variable in "inews.c" is used several
times before it is initiallized (finally) around line 225?  We're a
little behind in getting version 2.8 up, so if someone already pointed
this out --sorry.  The problem is appearent when you run raw "inews"
(not postnews); you get your prompt back without putting in any article,
and a 'ps(1)' still shows an inews is running.  The solution is simply
moving the initiallizing line up to the front of the file (before the
variable is used).
