[arm-allstar] newsline

[Dave Petrie]

Here's what I mean, always learning something new, WinSCP that I use on my
Windows 10 laptop, when you said somewhere around line 210,
I just figured out how to get there. Open WinSCP, open
/etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews-0.11
then control G and type in 214 then enter.
IF I could remember this tomorrow when I start playing again, oh wait,
that's why I write documents, I'll add it to my newsline doc.
