What is the best way to get a text out of Pine and into a PC-based text 
editor like WordPerfect?  Do I really have to export the message to a 
unix file and then ftp that to my harddisk?

That will work, or depending on your set-up, use the logging function on
your communications software to capture all the screen text into a file
on your PC.

Yes, if WordPerfect is on your harddrive.

In the current Pine 3.93 release, you can specify an upload-command
and download-command in the Setup/Config screen...

Thank you.  We're in 3.91,  but I've brought this to our system 
administrator's attention.
