[wplug] post to nntp in PINE?

I have a bizarre problem using PINE when connected to andrew.cmu.edu.  I 
don't really have anywhere else to turn, so I'm looking for ideas.

My understanding is that when I am reading a newsgroup in PINE and I press 
'C', then I am presented with the option to post to the newsgroup.  But in 
PINE on Andrew, that doesn't happen -- I'm just kicked into the normal 
composer.  I do have an nntp server configured -- I mean, I'm reading 
newsgroups -- and the documentation that I've found seems to suggest that 
what's happening shouldn't be happening.  I'm totally confused.

What's really frustrating is, this isn't even the core problem -- the core 
problem is a LaTeX question that I don't know how to answer and was hopign 
to post it to a newsgroup.  And the paper is due tomorrow.... ARRRGH!!
