Comes here Mz. Ira Frankel with this opinion in  "comp.mail.pine" group in this article on 9 Dec 1994 10:17:39 -0800:

You can use the ^Z(suspend) or |(pipe) feature instead of !(shell out) to get
back into shell or execute a shell command within Pine (for ex: finger) as it
really depends on what you want to do when you shell out. You can always get
back into Pine by typing 'fg' at the prompt.

In order to use the ^Z feature you will have to enable suspend feature in the
feature list or invoke pine with the -z flag.
