Subject: from 3.91 to 3.95

I added /usr/local/nuglops/bin/pine and went from 3.91 to 3.95.
I changed the inbx-path=~/.mailbox/inbox.

However, after logging out and back into Pine, I am back at version 3.91.
What else do I need to change to make 3.95 stable.

It would be graet if you could issue a step by step guidelines. As it is,
the information you put out is often incomplete. Remember, some of us are
new to all this....

Thankx Gerlinde

	Hummm....information incomplete, huh?  You forgot to tell us what
platform you are using for running pine.  But, that's OK...we figured it
out from your headers.  Also, who is "you"?  I'm sure you are talking
about the kind folks at netcom, right?  But, read on....

	Anyway, from what you have written it sounds as if you have two
copies of pine on your system.  On is 3.91 and the other is 3.95.  Your
problem is that when you login an environment variable get set called
"PATH".  This will tell your shell what directories to look into to find
executables.  It is searched in consecutive order.  So, your system will
execute the first instance of pine that it finds.  You have several
choices.  You could rearrange your PATH variable so that the directory
/usr/local/nuglops/bin comes first...or nearly first...or you could name
pine something like mypine.  The chances of finding "mypine" in your path
sounds a bit unlikely.

	Regards,
