I tried to use Pine. It didn't work!! Instead, it said:
Your terminal, of type "network", is lacking functions needed to run pine.
When I tried to tset the terminal to vt220, it still wouldn't work!! Can someone 
help me??

Just calling tset isn't sufficient. Instead, try one of the following
depending on the type of shell you are using:

# C-Shell

   setenv TERM vt220

# Bash or Korn shell

   export TERM=vt220

# Bourne shell (also works for Bash and Korn shell)

   TERM=vt220
   export TERM

This ought to fix the problem.
