Sorry, left out a step. You have to get out of Pine and go to the shell 
to download or use the cat command.

How do you do!
Well, one way is to export (function E) to a file on the host in your 
directory, then download to your PC. Or you can do a disk capture if your 
PC communication program has that function.  If you disk capture, its 
better done from the exported file using the Unix cat command, that way you 
don't get all the Pine menu options as part of the message.  I use a script 
(my communications program comes with one) to do all of this.

    You seem to be referring to using Pine on Unix or some sort of 
Unix-like system.  In that case, Ctrl-Z should get you out to the shell.  
Use 'fg' (foreground) to resume Pine.

Ah! I didn't know about that one.  And it seems you have to go into 
setup - configure and enable Pine suspension first.  Thanks, I will add 
that to my script.
