One of the users here uses pine indirectly through a dialin... He goes 
from the dialin through ISN through another machine to his.  Thus pine is 
clueless as to the fact that he's calling in at a very slow baud rate and 
needs the '-->' instead of the selection bar... How does one tell pine to 
use the -->?  This is probably a very stupid question with a very simple 
answer, but it's 4:51 in the am...

> use the -->?  

If he's running on a Unix system and logs on to it through 'rlogin' or
'telnet', he could type 'stty 1200', 'stty 2400', etc.

This would *not* be a good idea if he connected to his system through a
character port, because it would actually change the port speed.  But
if he was connecting through a network port, the 'stty' speed would
just serve to advise Pine that he's running at low speed.
