[net.news.b] I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"m not a hacker

Good Grief! Can anyone tell me why B news feels that it must do a
'system' instead of an 'exec' when replying to news. If you
did an 'exec' you wouldn't have to worry about your `'`s and '/'s
getting diddled with.

I grant that 'system()' is more portable, but in this case its use
does not seem warranted.
