Subject: Probably just FAQ, but....help me please??

Please forgive me if I've messed up or made other major errors, but this is the first time I've tried to post anything. 
What I'd like to know is if there is any way to save letters from pine to my    hard drive instead of to the network, so that I can access the letters from my word processor.  Conversely, I'd like to know how to send word processor files as part of my letters in pine.
Thanks in advance. :)

Hi,

There are 2 options here, first you can setup a folder 
(folder-collection) through the configuration screen.  With this, you can 
save messages to folders locally on you PC's hard drive.

If you are just trying to save a message to your hard drive, then use 'E' 
to export the message and specify the filename(and path if desired).

Hope this helps...

Assuming you are using Unix pine (?), you need to save the messages in a
folder within your directory, then transfer the file to your PC where you
can work with it.  The transfer procedure depends which terminal program
you are using-- give us more details or ask for local help.

Sending a message prepared on your local is the reverse procedure-- 
transfer the file to your unix directory, then (R)ead it into your pine 
message buffer.  Make sure you save the file from your word processor in 
generic ASCII format.
