Hi,
I think Pnews should show what the default value is for the
"Distribution" field when prompted. Every time I press 'f' in rn
to submit an article, I always wonder if my article would get
distributed properly if I left the field empty or if I should
enter "world". I vaguely recall reading somewhere that one is NOT
supposed to type "world" for the Distribution field. If so, why,
and what adverse effects would there be if I typed "world"?
At any rate, I feel that the default value should be shown in
parentheses so that if I were to hit RETURN, I know where the
article is going.
