how do I un-tar a file, say test.tar, that exists in my account, and not
on a tape?  I know the x switch specifies extraction, but I can't seem to
force it not to look at an external device.

The original poster can cancel an article by pressing 'C' at the rn article
level (i.e., with the offending article on-screen).  If the article has
propogated to other sites, the Cancel order will take time to catch up to
it.

Sorry about the previous postings by the poster referred to above; I've 
just learnt about a better newsgroup to post such articles as those into; 
(Well, the last one WAS a sort of a question, anyway, with the answer tagged on 
at the back of it).

But this time I've come up with a real question: why did the developers
of the USENET software for the UNIX system name the command for posting 
an article *Pnews* instead of plain and simple pnews, or even more simply pn? 
Even postnews would have been so much user-friendlier! Just to prevent newusers
from finding out about how to post items, and make them be content with reading 
only until they find out, I guess. A funny and a rather convoluted way to 
limit contributions, I would say.

Because there _was_ a program called 'postnews', I think.  It came with the
equally bletcherous program called 'readnews'.  Pnews came with rn, and like
rn, was better than the alternatives.  Now, of course, there is nnpost,
which comes with nn, and is friendlier than Pnews.

Kudos to David Cohen for having the werewithal to ask the 'dumb' question in
the first place, and to Art Nicolaysen and Robert Maier (so far) for providing
succinct and incredibly informative answers to it. I don't believe I'm the
only person who at first had difficulty understanding (grokking?) the Net
in all its subtle glory, and who found the news.announce.newusers postings
singularily useless at providing the information I needed. (I'm technically
quite literate, but was completely new to both Unix and Usenet.)

Perhaps Mr. Cohen can forward the answers he receives to some kind soul
who will collate them into a new, improved "What is Usenet? FAQ, to augment
or replace the current one provided by Gene Spafford. (That's the document
which, as pointed out by others, attempts to answer the question "What is
an elephant?" by saying "It's not a Buick!".) This would certainly have
helped to bootstrap my knowledge and understanding of all that was going on
here.

	An Archie search on "smiley-dic" turned up a good site:

ftp dftsrv.gsfc.nasa.gov    (or 128.183.10.134)
and it is in /pub/smiley-dictionary   (size 7834) 

Here's a more verbose description of how to do this:

+ type "ftp dftsrv.gsfc.nasa.gov"
  If that doesn't work, try "ftp 128.183.10.134"    (the numeric 'name')
+ logon as "anonymous" and give your email address as a password
+ type "cd pub"
+ type "get smiley-dictionary"
+ type "quit"

Some other things you may want to know about "anonymous ftp"

+ Case us significant. ("smiles" is different than "Smiles")
+ You can type "dir" or "ls" to see the files
