Subject: multiple user names

How can I configure PINE to prompt me when I start it up to enter a user 
name?  (my sister uses my account occasionally, and its a bit of a pain 
editing .pinerc all the time)  I am sure this is possible, since a friend 
of mine had this set up in PINE.  He has since lost the account, and he 
never did give me the copy of his .pinerc file I requested.  He has no 
clue how it was set up either (I was like that when he got it, and was 
never the type to figure out how things work.)

In any case, I'd appreciate any help with this.  Thanks.

I believe that if the .pinerc entry "user-id" has the value of the null
string, as opposed to no value at all, Pine will prompt each time.

If you edit the pinerc directly, the null string is represented by a pair
of double quotes.  If you use the config screen, you can "Add" then hit
RETURN immediately.

Warning: this info is from memory from a long time ago...
