Actually, just changing the 18 to a 15 to stop the text of certain messages
from going off the top of the screen is insufficient.  This fix makes the
assumption that all terminals have 24 lines, surely false.  Currently the
Ann Arbor Ambassador exists with between 18 and 60 lines and the BBN BitGraph
has 64 lines.  Surely this trend will continue.  Therefore, I would prefer to
see either of the following two solutions:
	1) Find out from termcap (or the new terminfo system) how many lines
	   the terminal in fact has

		OR
	
	2) After sending something through 'more', have readnews print out a
	   '--Done--' prompt and wait before going on to the next article.

Personally I prefer the first solution, but only if one can get the number
right \\every// time, not just for articles under 80 lines...
