Pine is an electronic mail interface that allows the user to easily
compose, print, and reply to e-mail messages.  Rather than downloading
all e-mail messages and printing them from WordPerfect or WordStar, we
(CTU) now strongly suggest that you print your e-mail from the Pine
interface.  This short guide will give you instructions on printing,
deleting, composing, forwarding, and replying to e-mail messages.

At the e-mail menu, the first option is the Pine interface.  The Pine
Main Menu gives you the choice of composing (C) messages, viewing the
Index (I), viewing a folder (L), or quitting Pine (Q).  The Index (I)
option will display a chronological list of your current e-mail
messages.  At the Index, you can read, delete, print, and reply to any
message.

Use the cursor control keys (arrows) to highlight a particular message
in the Index list.  To read the message, press the <Enter> key.  You
can print and delete a message either while reading it or by
highlighting it in the Index list.  To print the message, press a Y,
and answer Yes to the "print to ansi?" question.  To delete a message,
press a D.  This will mark the message for deletion and will
automatically move to the next message.  Messages marked for deletion
will be removed when you quit Pine.

You can also reply to any message by pressing an R either while reading
the message or by highlighting it in the Index list.  You will be given
the choice of including the original message in your reply, and you
will also be given the choice of responding to only the sender or to
all recipients.

To return to the Index from reading a message, type an I, and to move
to the next message, type an N.  You can quit Pine by typing a Q.

When you are replying to (or composing) a message, add users to the
TO: list by separating users (or aliases) with a comma.  The
attachment part of the header is for "attaching" files to the message.

Within the message while replying (or composing), make deletions by
using the backspace key or Ctrl-K to delete lines or blocks.  Check the
spelling by using the Ctrl-T at the beginning of the message.  Send the
message by typing Ctrl-X.

When quitting Pine, answer Yes to "expunge messages?" for Pine to
remove the messages you marked for deletion.

Keep in mind that your options on each menu are displayed at the bottom
of each screen.  CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP IS AVAILABLE ON EACH SCREEN BY
PRESSING THE QUESTION MARK (?) (press Ctrl-G for help in the Compose
screen).


We hope presenting these basic keystrokes will assist you in using and
learning Pine.  More detailed documentation will be available in the
future as needed.
