Subject: PINE mentoring

I have just arrived at a new UNIX/PINE system. I know little or nothing 
about this configuration. I arrive with fairly extensive experience with 
the VAX/VMS system, and I especially miss the SELECT command. I FTP'd to 
the washington site and got a couple of files, and am muddling through. I
have about 100 messages arriving daily, but have some very specific needs 
in order to make this a faster process.

First I want to see in the index the name of the server, primarily the 
FROM address, but I also want to be able to sort by the TO or CC 
addresses as well. How may I do that?

I wish to use the ";" select command in order to do aggregate commands.
How may I do that?  I want to save entire folders of email into plain
ASCII/dos text files, all at one time. How may I do that?  The version of
PINE which is used here is version 3.89.  

Any and all assistance and
mentoring greatly appreciated.

	Not sure I know what your mean by "name of the server".

	At this point you can only sort on "From:".

> mentoring greatly appreciated.  

	Well, part of your problem is you are running 3.89.  There are
much more features in 3.91.

	Suggest you upgrade to 3.91, read *all* of the extensive help
menus, get the FAQ and read that, play around for a bit, then take
stock of where you are at.  Then, come back with any and all questions.
(Is that known as "mentoring" ?  :-) :-) )

>PINE which is used here is version 3.89.  

Unimplemented in 3.89.  Upgrade to 3.91.  It has a number of new
capabilities, along with a few gotchas.
