The rules
-
MS Windows note: The path must not contain any "long filename" component.
Please use the "dos mode" filename convention. ("Progra~1" instead
of "Program Files" etc.)
-
MS Windows note: The executable must be specified by a full absolute path.
-
The commands are not passed through shell. Shell meta-characters lose their
special meanings. Therefore pipes, output redirections and environment
variable substitutions cannot be used.
- Do not put quotes around the substitution sequences.

There are three types of news-related URLs specified in
RFC 1738:
- news:comp.lang.c
- news:bir1ps$cs2$1@elf.eng.bsdi.com
- nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.kernel-traffic/36
Mozex uses the "news" command to handle all of them. In practice
usually only the first type can be found on webpages.
