Hello Everyone --

I posted this question a few weeks ago and was told to check the pine 
archives. I have, and couldn't find it.  

I would like to disable the keyboard lock feature of pine. Does anyone 
know how this is done?

Thank you in advance,

Two choices...

Either,

*  Turn it off in the systemwide "fixed configuration" file.

For UNIX systems this defaults to living in
/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed.  Simply set the "feature-list" variable to
include "disable-keyboard-lock-cmd".  We also disable the Update command:

feature-list=disable-keyboard-lock-cmd,
        disable-update-cmd,

Values in the fixed configuration file can't be overriden by users.  (But 
remember to make the file readable by users! :-)

Or,

*  Modify the source code and recompile.

There's a file for your operating system in the pine/osdep/ directory.  
It's called "os-xxx.h", where "xxx" is the code you use when you say 
"build xxx" to compile Pine.  Look in there and uncomment the "#define 
NO_KEYBOARD_LOCK" line.
