I would like to be able to paste a portion of one message into another
message.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Gail

Are you using pine in a "dumb terminal" window (ZTerm, ProComm, CrossTalk,
etc.)? Then cut and paste with your terminal program's "edit" menu. Most
term programs are very cooperative with large volumes of data being cut
and pasted; it just gets treated as a sort of mini-upload and download, as
far as I can tell. Anyway, you should have no problem doing that.

And if you're sitting in front of the Unix box in question? I have no idea
at all of what to do. Maybe save an article as ASCII text, then cut and
uncut into the other article. I'm no expert at that, so *don't* take my
work on it. 

Cheers,

Rob
