Subject: How to resume a stopped pine process?

I must have accidentally typed control Z or control S. My pine program is 
"stopped," according to the output of the ps command in UNIX, but I was 
in the middle of a huge letter! 

When I restart pine, I get a new process that is readonly. How can I resume
or restart the old process and get my letter back on the screen? I can't 
find this in the docs or the newsgroup....

    From the prompt, type "fg" (no quotation marks) to put the stopped 
process, in this case Pine, back in the "foreground."  I actually use 
this feeature frequently and deliberately when I want to exit momentarily 
to perform some other task and then go back to Pine.  It is quite 
useful.  When Pine returns to the foreground, it repaints the screen.

And if you've suspended more than one program, you can type `jobs'
get a list of the programs and their numbers and then type `fg %n'
to bring job n into the foreground, e.g., to bring job 2 into the
foreground, type:

	fg %2

Enjoy,
