How is it used, situationally?

1.	I get mail from you.

2.	I decide that I will continue to communicate with you.

3.	I decide I'd rather type "alanh" rather than
	"Alan Horowitz <[email-masked]>"
	in the To: field.

4.	While reading the mail from you I do a T(ake) and put
	an entry for you in my address book.

	Ed

: When you are in the compose screen and the cursor is positioned in the 
: To: or Cc: field and you do the command ^T (take address) Pine will bring

: Cc: field depending on where the cursor is positioned.

Oh. Learn something new every day.

  I use it when reading a message from a new correspondant. If I want 
to add their address to my address book the Take command prompts for a 
nickname, full name, and then Takes the address from the incoming message 
to the address book.
