To Whom it may concern,
	I'm having trouble w/ pine in the respect that my cursor appears 
one line above where the text appears.  I've tried all alternatices 
including pine help and local network administrator.  please send e-mail 
if there is a command in pine that I am not familiar with that will 
rectify this situation.

Thanks,

This action has been deliberately chosen by the Pine Team.  The reasoning
is that the text of your reply is (should be!) the "useful" part of the
message, and the quoted text of secondary nature to provide context for
the recipient if they can't remember what it is you're waffling on about
;-)  This saves the recipient having to wade through reams of included
text simply to get to your comments right at the bottom.

Therefore the default action is to let you start typing your reply in
straight away, all nicely position at the start of the message.

However for dinosaurs who really don't like the behaviour (gosh, I'm in a
funny mood today:-) or for those who prefer to intersperse their comments
after included paragraphs the action can be changed...

At Pine's Main Menu go to the Setup Configuration screen (by typing "S"
then "C") where, unsurprisingly, you can set Pine's behaviour.  Look down
the list of items for one called "signature-at-bottom" and make sure it is
selected.

Cheers,
