Enhancement to rnews 2.10.2 sys:F option
#445

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.
