Subject: Possible pine bug w/large screens

I'm running Pine 3.91 on SVR4, using NCSA Telnet on a Macintosh.

When I set my terminal to a large size (stty rows 50 columns 120) the
Pine composer starts acting funny. The screen will draw, then the screen
will shift up one whole line. Thus, when I compose, it looks like I'm typing
on the cc: line when I'm actually typing on the to: line. Needless to say,
this is quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

I assume that you have been resizing the telnet screen to 50x120
but that the terminal you are running pine on does not know that
the terminal you view it on has that size.
Better leave the terminal at the size when you started pine and
not do any resize.

If you however always use a 50x120 terminal with NCSATelnet [*]
then you should set the terminal size before you call pine:
	stty rows 50 colums 120

Not all "stty" programs know this.  So you might need to set env vars
"LINES" and "COLUMNS".  It all depends on your system.  :-)

[*]  Which version?  I think 2.7b4 was the last I used.
