I don't know but have always wanted to know this myself so if you do 
find out please let us all know here. :-)

You could try emailing Phil Karn. I did once over the News posting bug 
and did eventually get a reply.

If you don't get an answer from him within 2 or 3 weeks then try 
posting the details you have so far here, commands especially. I'll 
then have a look at the source code to see if those commands are 
actually implemented or not, but I still might not be able to say 
exactly 'cos I don't want to have to spend days looking! :-)
