Have a read of the documentation; Unix Pine I hope you meant.

This is taken from docs/tech-notes/installation.html:

Most of Pine's behaviors are set in the file ./pine/osdep/os-xxx.h,
which includes comments that explain each setting. Some of these can only be 
set when you compile. Others, however, can be overridden by command-line
flags to Pine or settings in Pine's user or system configuration files.
Some of the options which can be set when compiling: 

ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM 
     Determines whether users are allowed to modify the From line on
outgoing mail. Even with this turned on, users will have to include From in 
their default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs in order to be able to
edit the From line. Default is to not allow any changing.

No, I meant PC Pine for Windows/Winsock.  I know about
ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in Unix pine and that works great.
I'm wondering if there's something like that that I
can do in PC Pine.  If there isn't, does anyone know
if there are any problems having a couple invocations
of PC Pine for Windows running simultaneously and using
different PINERC files?

Thanks,
Nancy
