using nntp in rebol

How do I post to a newsgroup? I figured out from the user guide how to read the list of newsgroups and how to then read the messages. How do I post my own question to the group. I could maybe use Netscape to do it but I would rather learn how to do it in rebol. I browsed quickly through the source for nntp.r, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me. Files like this would be a lot more useful if some examples of usage were given. -Galt tia

Here is something strange. Using "make string!" does not create a string! datatype from pi, but "to string!" does.
