This enhancement allows a default for the :F: option is the news 2.10.2
sys file. It works like the default uux command. I find that it keeps
the sys file shorter with less chance of errors.
A sys line of the form:
remotesys:net,fa,mod,to.remotesys:F
Will cause the article pathname to be appended to the file:
BATCHDIR/remotesys
This is the pathname that the sendbatch and csendbatch scripts expect.
You can still override this by explicitly specifying the path.
