Move the text file to your home directory (if it isn't already there), 
then use Pine's "R" (read) command to read the file into the Compose 
window.  The contewnts of the file will be inserted into your message at 
the current cursor position.

  Press ^R when you're composing.

1.  Start composing your message.
2.  With the cursor in the "Message Text" area look at menu at bottom of 
    screen.
3.  See the "^R Read File" item on the menu.
4.  Try using it.
5.  Be stunned and amazed.

:   Press ^R when you're composing.

This will pull the file out of your home directory, but you have to use 
^R when you are in the body of your message.

If you are using pico the ^R (CTRL R) will do the trick
