Subject: A question on mailing and printing

I use the tin newsreader and cannot figure out how to send an interesting 
news article to myself or to anyone else. I am also having difficulty 
printing an article to my printer. Although pine gives you an option to 
perform these tasks, I cannot seem to have good results.

Someone please answer the following questions:

To mail an article, I should enter___________?
To print an article, I should enter__________?
To forward an article, I should enter________?

Thank you.

James--

To mail, press "m" then you'll be presented with several options.  You'll 
usually chose "a" to mail an article;

To print, press "|" (the pipe command), then choose what you want to 
print, then type "pcprint" as the device.  If you're terminal is set up 
properly it should print directly to your attached printer.

I'll have to check on forwarding an article...

I checked on the forwarding--when you mail an article, tin asks for the 
addressee, which can be you or anyone else.

BTW, the print function I described in my previous post works on Panix.  
Other systems might be different.

It may work with tin, but it doesn't work with rn or trn. "m" marks an 
article as unread. Or am I missing something? Why is this discussion in 
pine? Are you reading newsgroups on pine somehow? (I have to quit, then 
load rn through the menu or go to shell to load trn.)

Dan, if you run Pine with the '-z' switch, it'll enable a ^Z to suspend, 
allowing you to run rn/trn w/out having to quit Pine.
