Subject: Suspending pine

When I try to suspend pine with a ^z I get a message like: suspending pine
is not enabled, see help text.  But I can't seem to find any help on how
to enable this basic function.  Anyone know how?  For that matter, is
there a manual on the .pinerc file?  Thanks.

Hi Mark,
	All you have to do to find out about command line options should 
be something like typing pine -- at the command line. I get a whole list 
of options that way, which is where you will find how to enable ^Z. The 
switch to do so is -z. So, start pine with pine -z. Then you should be 
able to suspend it to your hearts content. Good pining. Hope this helps.

Hello Mark - There is a data structure that you can set up in your
.pinerc file called 'feature-list'. The feature-list is a comma
separated list of various config attributes that you can enable. Here's
a copy of my feature list that includes enabling ^Z for suspending:

feature-list=enable-unix-pipe-cmd,
	enable-suspend,
	enable-alternate-editor-cmd,
	quit-without-confirm,
	enable-jump-shortcut,
	enable-goto-cmd,
	signature-at-bottom

It's OK to put each item on a separate line provided:
A.) Each line begins with white space (a line beginning with a tab or  space
is considered a continuation of the previous line).

B.) you end each item with a comma.

You may not want your list set up like mine but take note of 
line 2 - This is the item that enables suspend.
Good-luck
Dave

Sure you can. Invoke pine with the -z flag/option.
% pine -z

Then you will see for sure yourself that cntrl-z will work. Infact you can
alias pine to pine -z in you .login/cshrc files that way it will be
default.

Several people suggested the above.  
I've tried putting the feature-list=enable stuff in my .pinerc file,
but it seems that it doesn't work for some reason.  I still have to include
the -z parameter in the command line.  Also, I tried using your whole
feature list, but the signature-at-bottom doesn't automatically append my
signature.  So it may seem that my .pinerc file isn't even being read, but
I know certain parts, like file (folder?) defaults, are working fine.  Am
I missing something?
