DESCRIPTION
       The  writelog  script is used to write a log entry or send
       it as mail.  The name parameter specifies the name of  the
       log  file where the entry should be written.  If it is the
       word ``mail'' then the entry is mailed to the news  admin-
       istrator, news.  The data that is written or sent consists
       of the text given on the command line, followed  by  stan-
       dard  input indented by four spaces.  Shlock(1) is used to
