Done (as well as for send-uucp.in).

But then, where full paths should be used? Only in "scripts" or samples?
Otherwise, it would also be possible to write:
su -news -c <pathbin>/rc.news
And there would be no need for .in POD/man pages.

By the way, I have always wondered what was the best writing for
I<pathetc>/active; is it that one, or I<pathetc>/F<active> or
F<I<pathetc>/active> or F<< <pathetc>/active >>, or..?
