	Hummm.....

	If you want to go from pine to the unix shell then you'd want to

           [X]  enable-suspend

	in the setup/config.  Then, you'd use ctrl-z to suspend pine and
get a unix shell prompt.

	If you enabled the pipe command....then you can pipe the body of
a message to a unix command that you specify.

	Hope that helps....

>  also i wanted to know whether X in the config menu means enable or

	[X] indicates "set".  You then have to look at the verbage of
the parameter in question.

	Looking at the following:

            [ ]  disable-keymenu
            [ ]  enable-8bit-esmtp-negotiation

	If you have:

	   [X]   disable-keymenu

	then keymenu is disable.  If it is "[ ]" then it is enabled.

	OK??

X in the config menus means "enabled" or "on".
Once you have enabled the unix pipe command, type "|" and a unix command 
at the prompt.

FYI, type "O" for "Other commands" and you should see the "|" at the 
bottom of the screen.
