Subject: HELP!!!

I need information on how to help a friend of mine; when he brings up an
email letter to read only the bottom half is displayed--if you "previous
page" the logo of our freenet comes up - sorta like the letter is tucked
under the logo.  Also, the menu from "Inbox" is interspersed throughout
the letter being read.

I am writing from my call-sign since it would be impossible to read any
answer he might get from you on his own account.

Thanks.                         Jean Glick

I assume your friend is also running pine on a Sun.

It sounds to me as if the Unix host doesn't know what window size your
friend is using.  He can get its view of the situation by entering 'stty
-a' and looking for rows and columns values, or (depending on the
operating system) something like 'echo "$COLUMNS"; echo "$LINES"'.

If the values are wrong, they can be reset by means of commands such as

	stty rows 24 columns 80
	setenv LINES 24			# csh syntax
	LINES=24; export LINES		# sh syntax
	eval `resize`			# under X (not guaranteed)

Your local sysadmin may have additional advice.

Hope this helps,
