Subject: User documentation

I realize the help screens include just about everything users need to
know, but that is mostly useful *after* they've begun using Pine.  What do
you do to introduce Pine to new email users at your site?

Seminars and demos are effective for people at my office, but I have many
more users that are remote.  Any ideas for them?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to provide my users with a short document
describing the Pine basics and how they can learn more about the features
available to them.  If nobody has written one, I'll take a crack at it and
share it with anyone that is interested.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, I'm the sole supporter of it here, and what I've found to work is
just telling the person how to start it up...  They ask 'How do I ____'
once or twice, but you tell them to just read the screen...  They learn on
their own that way and it seems to have worked very well here...
