>Description:

One tells new users to use ~? to check what commands are available while
writing mail.  However, the list of ~ commands does not mention any 
command to abort the message.  Also, mailx on System V uses ~x for
this purpose.

The patch below, makes ~x equivalent to ~q and mentiones them in the help
screen shown by ~?
