I have a problem. PINE unfortunately does not respond to queries because 
of its tremendous acceptance.
I use pine as my email server. The Naval Academy also uses pine. A Naval 
Cadet is home for the holidays and would like to retrieve his important 
messages from his email address via the internet without repeated use of 
long distance lines. Is it possible. Any help appreciated.

Sure.  Using your account, he can use the "telnet" coommand.  In your
shell, type "telnet your.cadet's.domain" and press RETURN.  Then follow
the prompts for login and password.  That should get him on his system. 
(Make note of the escape character, which is usually "^]" in case you get
stuck.)  At his system prompt, type PINE and read away. 

Hope this helps.
