Here is a way to get NAME and ORGANIZATION variables into your postings:

If you are using /bin/sh, put these lines into your .profile:

export NAME ORGANIZATION
NAME="the name you want to be called"  (use quotes if you intend to leave
whitespace in the text) 
ORGANIZATION="whatever organization, real or imagined, you wish to be asso-
ciated with"

To actually get these into your new environment, you must either log out and
log back in again, or type:

. .profile

at the shell command level.  (Note:  if your PATH does not include ., you may
have to type . ./.profile.)

If you are using csh, put these into your .cshrc (.login is ok, I guess, if 
you're on 4.? BSD):

setenv NAME "something or other"
setenv ORGANIZATION "something else"

You'll have to do a source .login after you're done, or type them to csh.

It works for me.  Good luck.  If those don't work, your machine has probably
hard-wired NAME and ORGANIZATION into inews, and the getenv() calls were
commented out.

Good luck.
