[hacknews] PATH in news

henry (05/30/82)

Modified /bin/news not to reset PATH (and to invoke readnews as /bin/readnews).
The explicit pathname is sort of annoying, but shell escapes make resetting
PATH a nuisance in this case.  Theoretically it should be possible to reset
PATH but not export it, which would dictate the search path for finding
readnews but not mess up shell escapes.  This did not work, I know not why.
