Could somebody please  tell me how to put signatures at the end of
Pine messages?

Thanks / Apatt

Create a .signature file in your home directory or enter a filename
to the signature-file option in the setup screen.

You can read about this by:

1.  Starting Pine (always helpful! :-)
2.  Selecting Setup ("S" from the Main Menu)
3.  Selecting Configuration (C)
4.  Looking down the list of options and seeing, a few lines down the very
    first screen the magical words "signature-file".
5.  Notice that the command menu at the bottom of the screen talles you that
    the "?" will give you help (on the item the cursor is on).

If you have a look there you'll probably find all you want to know (and 
may spot some other interesting things in passing, too).

Cheers,

Just create a signature file. Then set it in Setup/Config/signature-file 
and set Setup/Config/signature-at-bottom.

For lots and lots of info about sigs in Pine, and more, see:

Good luck,

If I may ask an obviously ignorant question....how do you create a 
.signature file in your home directory?  I am very new to the UNIX 
environment and don't have the faintest idea how to do this.
> > Could somebody please  tell me how to put signatures at the end of

By reading the help menu in pine, you will find instructions that tell 
you to goto setup/config/ and then put in the name of the file...and then 
continue down and x the "add sig at end of posts" place.  Sorry for the 
hazy wordings. :)

    Change to your home directory at the shell prompt (usually the cd 
command will do this) and use a text editor to create the file .signature .
How to do this?  Unfortunately there is no single, simple answer, because 
there are a short jillion text editors available for Unix systems, and I 
have no idea what is available on your system.  They are all different.

    However, if you have Pine, you _probably_ have its associated separate 
text editor Pico, which is very easy to use.  Just switch to your home 
directory and try entering

        pico .signature

and see if anything happens.  If Pico _is_ available (in your path), you 
are in luck.  Just compose your signature.  Then press Ctrl-O to save it 
and Ctrl-X to exit Pico.
