Hello everyone,

   Someone here noticed that SET ITEM/HOLD wasn't working in News 5.9.  I
looked into it, and found an error in newscmd.cld.  It seems that Geoff
forgot to change one occurance of NEWSITEM to NOTEID in the syntax definition
for SET ITEM.   A patch follows.

   By the way: I've gotten two letters from people saying that the DIFF
that I posted stack dumps on them.  I have had no problems at all here,
so naturally this is a bit hard to diagnose; is anyone else having this
problem, and if so could you at least tell me what line the error is
occuring at?
