Subject: Y command

Can someone tell me about this command?  When I hit ? for help and scroll 
down through that, I can see no mention of this command.  Why doesn't Pine 
tell me what it does?

Depends on the situation. The short menu at the bottom of the screen tells
you what Y does. Sometimes (for example, in the message viewer) it's on
the second page (use O Other commands to scroll menu pages). With respect
to messages, Y means print (they spell it prYnt). When prompted yes/no, it
means yes.

It says Print.  That is it!

Which has little significance to me since I am at home, and printing a 
file on a printer from the host machine has no relevance.

> to messages, Y means print (they spell it prYnt). When prompted yes/no, it

I still have no clue what it does.  Someone suggested to me that I use it 
for some purpose.

Why doesn't Pine Help describe it?

PS.  Does Pine have a FAQ?

It stands for pr(Y)nt ... as in 'print'.   BYE

	It may have more significance than you expect.

	Go to the M(ain) menu.  They type S(etup) followed by P(rinter).
Tells your about "attached-to-ansi".

	It prints your email???

> Why doesn't Pine Help describe it?

	I suspect that "print" is fairly obvious.

If you're using a decent telnet or dialup client, it may be possible to
print directly to a locally attached printer.  Your software has to support
`pass-thru' printing; if it does you can print to a local printer.

If you have a printer attached to your local computer, try going into the 
setup/printer area, and activating `ANSI passthrough printing', and then 
see what happens.

If you have a printer attached to your machine at home, why not just turn
the freaking thing on and see if it works, instead of arguing about it? 
If it doesn't work, maybe you have some (s)etup (c)onfig or (s)etup
(p)rinter option changes to make.  Your system is using PINE 3.91 whereas
the latest is 3.95 but that shouldn't make a difference (someone correct
me if I'm wrong) because 3.91 also supports printing to a local printer
using ascii escape sequences.  It may not work if your using a win95
dialer, but if you post what your specific problem is, there's lottsa
people here who probably know the answer.

The PURPOSE is to PRINT!  Why is that so difficult to understand?  Print
... as in put an electronic message on a piece of paper with a ribbon
soaked with ink.;-)

: Why doesn't Pine Help describe it?

It does ... it says Y means prYnt as in print.

: PS.  Does Pine have a FAQ?

Yes certainly it does.  And it also has context sensitive help screens, as
in Setup Printer for example.  BYE.
