A signature file is just a flat text file that gets either appended or
prepended to your out-going mail message.

-- Start by going into pine, and enter SETUP (Config task).  You will find
   an entry labeled "signature-file".  Use the "?" command to get instruc-
   tions, and "E" to exit this help.  Make your decisions, and take
   actions appropriate to those decisions.

   HELPFUL NOTE: You can use the "W" command and search for "sig" to
		  quickly get to the options you need.

-- Then go back to the shell prompt, and by using a text editor (vi,
   emacs, or whatever you have available), create what you want it to say.

	PLEASE, oh PLEASE, keep it short!  2 or 3 lines, MAYBE 4.

Now you're ready to go.  The next message you send out will have your
signature file in it.

Have fun  /  Ray

Hi

I created my Signature file in Lynx, in my files area.  That is just another 
option...

Usually a signature file with UNIX is created by putting a .signature 
file in your home-directory. This .signature file is automatically read 
by Pine while composing a message. Be aware of the fact that pine 
defaults to putting the signature file at the top of your message. Use 
config to place on the bottom.
