Okay, I just ran across it. It was hiding in the same
directory as trn--a subdirectory of my own home directory.

So I made an alias for it in my .login file, and now I
can execute it. But when I do, I get the following 
sequence of events:

% Pnews
Rnfilexp: not found
Rnfilexp: not found
Rnfilexp: not found
.: Can't open /Pnews.header: No such file or directory

Any ideas?? Do I have to change a configuration file somewhere,
or maybe create one?
