        Do stress in your document for newbies how important it is
to read the installation material when installing Lynx.  Here, for
example, is what it says right above where a newbie or olbie would
be setting the INEWS variable for Unix:

[...]
# Unix:
#======
# Set INEWS to the full path and name of your program for posting to
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
               |||||||||||||
# newsgroups.  A "mini" inews is included in the utils subdirectory of
# the Lynx distribution.  You can disable news posting by setting INEWS
# to "none", or via -restrictions switches.
# Note that INN may require an -h switch added to the path.  Also note
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^
                               |||||||||
# that posting is supported only for news: (not nntp:) URLs.

#INEWS:inews
[...]

        Sigh...
