To start with, their on-line documents will found at URL:

	http://www.washington.edu:1180/pine/index.html

But, for most configuration work, I've never found it necessary to go
there.  I recommend using the built-in help.  Try going to Setup from
the main menu, choosing the Config sub menu item.  Then go down to
news-collections and press "?" for assistance.

Please note that I have never been able to get pine to successfully use
an IP address to specify a news server.  It can be entered, but then
from the FOLDER LIST, it says "No such host...".  You must use either a
hostname that your machine knows about, or a fully qualified hostname.
