This problem arises even when the default is short, if the name of the file 
you want to save in is long. I hit this problem every now and again, but 
hadn't got around to grumbling about it yet. It would be nice if something 
could be done about it (having the field scroll left/right would be one 
solution).

	I too have hit the same problem. I get away by enlarging the
	width of the pine window; something I am never proud of doing :-)
	If shell variables could be interpreted and evaluated by pine,
	I imagine this could ease the problem, where one can store long
	path names in shell variables (at least for UNIX folks of pine).

I have also encountered this problem for the first time today, except that
it was in the Address book. When specifying a long email address: 
[email-masked]  the address book allows me to
enter the address, but upon calling it up during compose, it cuts off the
end, thus ending with an invalid address. Iv worked around this by setting
aliases in my shell i.e.  alias pink='pine pinkerton%.. etc etc'  I realise
the addressing method is a mailing config problem on our side, but there
must be alot of addresses/sites that require long addresses as such.

ps. anybody know of a spellchecker for the RS6000 running AIX3.2 for pine?

Good news!  Horizontal scrolling is just one of a long list of features
and fixes in the upcoming release.  Stay tuned (and thanks for your
patience)!
