Subject: pine & ^Z

How do I enable the suspension feature in Pine.  Previously when using
elm I could hit ^Z at any time to pop me back to my unix prompt & drop
elm into the background.  When I do this in pine however I get a
message
telling me that suspension is not enabled & I should look in the help
files for more info.  Searches through my help files have not helped.

Any help would be appreciatedl

Thanks,

	Run Pine with the '-z' option (ie. "pine -z").  This enables it.

Simply add "enable-suspend" in feature-list variable in .pinerc file,
located in your homedirectory. So, change that line to look like:

feature-list=enable-suspend

As you can see, that file is really nicely documented and you can
probably find many other neat features in there.

Hopefully this helps..

That must be because your sysadmin have enabled that feature
for all users.  Type `pine -conf` and look at the feature list.
You should find that "enable-suspend" is one of the features.
By default, ^Z is disabled unless setup otherwise in your own
.pinerc file or in the system-wide one.
