Subject: [Q] A complete novice's guide to Pine?

does anybody know of a book or tutorial on Pine for the 
complete novice?

  a few people have asked me "how to do e-mail", and it would
be helpful if there was some handy reference i could show
them. pine is pretty straight forward for computer- 
literate folks, but it can still be confusing for those not 
familiar with the unix environment, let alone computers in 
general.

  what i have in mind is something that includes a lot of screen
shots and detailed examples and explanations of what happens when
you press a key.

  i've browsed a couple of beginner's internet books, but i 
didn't find anything that dealt in-depth with using pine.

  thanks in advance.

You may find the documents "Getting Started with Pine" and "User's Guide" 
helpful -- they are available on the World Wide Web in the Pine Information
Center at the URL 
	http://www.washington.edu/pine/ 
under the section "Information on Using Pine."  Plain-text versions of both
documents are also available at the URLs, respectively: 
	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs/Getting_Started_On_Pine.txt
and
	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/docs/user-guide.txt
