We are in the process of reorganizing some of our hard drives and would 
like to give everybody a message telling them where to post any troubles 
they may come across.  We have set up a message that runs before nn 
executes, and were wondering if a similar feature exists in Pine.  If 
not, perhaps this could be a future enhancement ... ?

(Just for reference, it's not really plausible to post everyone  a 
message becuase of the limitations on disk space, &c.)

	I may be mis-understanding what you are after.  But, how about
doing the following:

1.	Rename pine to something else, e.g. "forest"

2.	Create a shell script called "pine" that echos the message you
	want to the person's screen and then calls "forest".

	(At this point I was going to insert a pun about the user not
being able to see the forest because of the tree.....but never mind.)
