Use "?" to get help on any (non-help) portion of the product.  Also pay
attention to the 2 bottom lines of your window, where the currently
available commands are shown.  Please note that if not all of these
command fit on those two lines, the "O" command will show you more.
In addition, these commands are case insensitive.  There is also a
man page that your sysadmin may have installed for you, but that's a
local issue.

Is it possible to have PINE automagically append a signature file based on
whether the message is local or non-local. I do this optionally by resetting
in setup - just wanted to do it without setup each time.

No, but here's how to get much the same effect:  Create a generic
.signature file that Pine will read in automatically when you compose a
message.  Also create one or more special-purpose signature files under
other names to use when your standard .signature isn't appropriate.  To 
use one of the special-purpose signatures, use ^K to delete the standard 
one from your message and ^R to read in the new one.
 
That's a lot easier than changing your Pine configuration each time you 
want to switch signatures.
