while you are at the Unix prompt type 'ps' and note the number next to 
pine.  Then type 'kill -9 <number>'.  This will terminate the Pine 
process.  It is not really the recommended way to do things but it sounds 
like you are kind of in a bind (it is sort of like hitting ctrl-alt-del 
on an MS-Dos machine).  Hope this helps...
