[Tinymux] Feature Suggestion: Includes on newsfiles.

[Roy Anger]

Alternatively, if you're using a unix type shell, just name all the 
files <something>.news and then do 'cat *.news | tee news.txt'.

I do something like this where I break up my files for easier 
maintenance, and have the above command as part of a script that updates 
news.txt and converts the news.txt to html.
