    I had this trouble myself when I started VUW.  I agree: it should be
    added to the FAQ...

    To add new news:
    1) @send *news    (exactly like sending mail to any mailing list)
    2) Once you are finished composing and sending your message to *news, do:
       @mail on *news    (that'll show you what message has what number).
    3) Pick the number of the message you want to add from the list provided
       @mail on *news.
    4) To add that message, do: @addnews [# of message] to *news
    5) If a message is old and you want it removed, do: @rmnews [# of
    message] from *news

    Cheers ;)
