Hi!
I'm new to Internet and I have some problems recognize commands of pine 
system. Can anybody help me, please and answer the following questions?

A) What is the purpose of the "chmod" command?
B) What command is able to find spelling errors in a file?
C) What command compares two sorted files?

Thank you in advance!
Adam.

It changes read, write, and execute permissions on your files, but it IS 
NOT A PINE question, it is a UNIX question.

: B) What command is able to find spelling errors in a file?
In Pine's default editor (PICO) it's ^T (control+t), but I'm not sure 
that's your question?

: C) What command compares two sorted files?
Again, not a PINE question but a UNIX question, and without knowing more 
about your system, can't answer.  Also don't know what you mean by a 
'sorted file'... ?

G'Day!
