Hey, there's a problem with Pnews. For some reason, you can't
backspace at any prompts. Try it. Run Pnews, and then enter something
bogus when it asks you for the 'newsgroup'. But don't press <RETURN>
yet. Now try backspacing, and you get a bunch of the ^? chars. Why
can't we backspace? It's sort of annoying, because you really have to
get everything right - you don't want to send to the wrong set of
people. Also, when asked for 'Distribution:', it would be nice if the
default was given in []'s as opposed to ()'s (that seems to be more of
an established convention.)
