I'm new to using Pine and I am wondering how I can get a signature to 
automatically come with my replies.  I know there is some kind of command 
to do this but I need to know how to even get a signature file in the 
first place.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The file should be named ~/.signature

    It depends on what operating system your computer is using.  *IF* it
is Unix or one of the sort-of-Unix-workalikes, go into your home directory
and create a file specifically by the name of .signature (note the leading
period -- this is required).  In the Pine configuration (if you are using
Pine 3.91 you can use the config screens) make sure that signature-file is
set to .signature, either explicitly or by default.  For other systems
(such as with PC-Pine), you'll have to check the documentation for the 
name and location of the sig file.

there are two ways to get a signature in your mails:

	Make a file with an editor and read while writing the mail this 
	file into your mail (Command: R, when the Cursor is in the body 
	of the mail).

	Make a file with the name ".signature" (or take another name and 
	add this name in the config screen) and the file will 
	automatically intefgrated in your mails. Note: You can 
	automatically put the signature at the bottom of the mails by 
	using the "signature-at-bottom"-feature in your config screen.

Hope it helps
