Si pone usted "enable-suspend" en la configuracio'n, ud. puede empujar
"Ctrl-Z" para salir al shell, y "fg" para regresar al Pine.

I will have to answer in Enlish, which your sig and your "real" names
suggests you are fully competent in.  It would simply take
me too long to write an answer in Spanish.

The question as I understand it is:

  Does anyone know how to leave pine to a unix shell without having
  to quit?

There is no direct way of getting to a SUB-shell in pine (there is
no "!" mechanism), but for any version of unix and unix shells
that allow job control (suspending jobs) you can use Ctrl-Z to
get back to a shell.  When you wish to return to pine, just type
"fg" to the shell prompt.

You may have to enable a pine feature called something like
"enable-suspend-cmd".

Using ctrl-Z is much better than the old fashioned
shell escape mechanism of many other Unix interactive programs, and
I suspect that the pine developers knew exactly what they were doing
when they did not put in a shell escape (other than suspend) into
pine.
