This is how I learned how.
Someone posted this a long time back in net.jokes.



alias rot13 'cat \!* | tr n-za-mN-ZA-M a-zA-Z'

When you want to rotate a joke, make the final joke in a file and then say:

% rot13 file_name > temp_file

The temp_file will be rotated and you can then say 'postnews temp_file'. Its
that easy.

To decode a joke, from readnews say 'D 13' or to save it to a file,
'D 13>file_name' or 'D 13>>file_name'. iIf it is in a file already you can say
'cat file_name | tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M'.
