Subject: Turning off Prompt in Unix Pine

On the whole I am satisfied with Pine (Unix, 3.91).  However, I wish 
I could customize it in one more way.  (I cannot just take the source 
code and tear it apart and put it back together any old way.)  Maybe I am 
overlooking something in the documentation, but in case I'm not, I will 
be grateful if anyone has an answer for this.

    So far as I know, Pine was written generally with the unsophisticated 
or "naive" computer user in mind, which is fine, especially since Pine 
allows the more experienced user to enable additional features.  In 
general, I would call myself a more experienced user (of computers in 
general).  Pine usually prompts me whenever I am about to take some sort 
of "action," such as sending mail, posting to a newsgroup, and so on.  I 
would like to be able to turn these prompts off, if possible.  I 
(usually) know what I'm doing, and if I fummble finger it, then that's my 
fault, not Pine's.  My personal preference is to run without so much hand 
holding.  Does anyone know of a way to turn some of these prompts off?  
Thanks.

Paul

I would advise you to go to the setup portion of Pine and then goto to 
config.  Enable or disable the things you wish enabled or disabled.
