Subject: pine f/dos: readonly when offline

hello:

i use pine for dos to read, sort, print, etc., my mail (*.mtx files stored
locally) when i'm not connected to my network (& network drivers not
loaded).  i can read my local folders just fine, but pine always opens
them *readonly* mode, which makes it difficult to manipulate email items
the way i'd like. 

does anyone know of a simple way to force pine to open local folders in
read/write mode, even when not connected to a host?  i've made lots of
changes to the pinerc file with no luck so far. 

sorry if this is a FAQ.  i'd like to know where to get a copy if there's one.

thanks, joel
