I want to call Pine from a script.  Pine will call another script as an 
alternate editor.

Can I pass the value of a variable from the first script to the alternate 
editor without using an environment variable?  An environment variable is 
out of the question.  :)

You can set the alternate-editor variable on the command line with 
something like

	pine -alternate-editor="emacs foobar"

The same technique works for any .pinerc variable...
