Subject: Holding a Mailbox Key

I have a quick questions about Pine, if somewhat could answer for me 
I'd be very grateful:

   Is it possible to instruct PC-PINE or (esp.) UNIX-PINE *not* to give up
the mailbox lock when another application asks for it?  I use this program
that checks every minute and a half to see if I have mail, and when it does
so, it makes my PINE session read-only.  Pine therefore can't save flags
(deleted, important, answered, etc.).  Although I can usually remember to
close it when I am using my PC, it is most annoying when I use UNIX-PINE
remotely and the program (on my PC) rudely glabs the key. 

    If you reply after noon on Wednesday (est), if you could e-mail me the
response at [email-masked], I'd appreciate it, because I leave for break at 1pm
Wednesday (est) not to return until Jan 18 by which time I think my newsfeed
will no longer contain the response, by then a month-old. 

Thanks again!!!
