Subject: Assistance w. Pine prob on AIX

Hi All!

I'm new to setting up Pine (3.91), and have run into a problem getting it to 
work on my RS/6000 AIX 3 system.

If the INBOX folder is empty when Pine is started, and Compose is selected
from the main menu or the folder list, then Pine hangs in the compose
screen with the cursor positioned on the "To:" field. 

The hang does not occur if the user views any folder index before
attempting to Compose a message, or if the INBOX has at least one message.

This same problem occurs in the executable I built, and in the
pre-compiled one from U.W. (pine-bin.a32).  One hitch here is I'm still on
an older 3.0 something AIX. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply directly, I'm 
not on this list yet.

What if you do type in an address at the To: field ?

3.0 is buggy..... upgrade!
