  All you do is make a text file, like with dos edit or something, then 
upload it to your account, then rename it to .signature or .sig, 
depending on yoru setup.

  If you're using dos edit, you need to dos2unix the text file before you 
upload it.

  One of my problems, which i put to this newsgroup to answer, is this:  
When i include the message i'm replying to so i can edit and quote it, my 
signature always goes before the quoted message.  This is very annoying, 
as i have to then delete my sig since it looks silly at the start of the 
message.  how do i fix this?

Firstly create a file in your home directory ( ~/ ) on my unix account called 
.signature.   Then write whatever signature you want in it.... then save the 
file.

Secondly edit .pinerc and make sure that the part where it says:
# signature-file specifies the name or path of a file containing text that
# will automatically be inserted in outgoing mail.
signature-file=.signature
looks like this

The save .pinerc.  This should work  on unix.  I don't know about PC pine.

Do these : On the main menu, select SETUP, then select `Config' at the 
prompt that follows. Go down to "feature-list" on the screen that shows
up, under feature-list, look for "signature-at-bottom", and put an X in
to enable it. It should look like this :

feature-list           =
            Set        Feature Name
            ---   ----------------------
            [ ]  assume-slow-link  
             .
             .
             .
            [X]  signature-at-bottom   
             .
             .

This is a fairly easier way of doing it, you can also do this by 
editing your .pinerc file, though its more of a mess I have to tell
you, compared with the way recommended above. On the other hand, it
surely helps to go through "jargon" like that if you have time, that's
how I knew of all these.

Hope this helps.
