You execute the script by simply typing in its name in your shell, i.e.:
sigscript
That's it. If you want to see the changes made automagically on every post,
then add the following line to your .login file:

setenv NEWSPOSTER '~/sigs/sigscript\;Pnews -h %h'

where ~/sigs/sigscript is the full path and name of the script.

L8er...
