Many hp terminals can do ansi or vt100 emulation.  We send the escape 
sequence to switch to ansi mode beroe launching pine, then switch back 
after exiting.  Sophisticated users may prefer to switch manually.

Dear colleagues,
scanning through the last 2 weeks of messages in the news-group 
comp.mail.pine did not give me an answer to my queston, which is:

- running 'pine' in a hp-terminal (workstation HP/9000 series) using
  TERM either 'hp' of 'hpterm' causes problems with the position of the
  cursor and the 'highlighted text' in menus.

does anyone know a solution? on a vt100-terminal (or xterm) pine runs GREAT!

Thanks for your help,
                          Urs Kradolfer, Switzerland
