I have copiled pine 3.95 on ultrix machine, it works fine.
But i have this problem :

In the main menu the default location of the pointer is on the line :
L	FOLDER LIST ...

I would like it to be on :
I	FOLDER LIST ...

any suggestions will be welcome.

I presume you mean "I    INDEX LIST"...

You can do this by making pine have a single initial key stroke, which
should be a single up arrow. The code for this keystroke is "UP" (lower
case "up" also seems to work. Either go to "setup" "configure" and look
for "initial-keystroke-list". Make the entry there just read "UP" (or
"up"; both without the quotation marks). Alternatively, start pine with
the following command: 

	pine -I up

Both work with PCPine, I haven't tried with other versions.

PS: The information available in the help for "initial-keystroke-list" was
how I discovered the above.

Yours

I'm guessing that what you're trying to do is save yourself a keystroke, so you
can just hit ENTER to see the index of your INBOX.  If I'm right, then you can
do the same thing from the Main Menu by just hitting "i" regardless of where the
pointer is located.  There's another, even better step-saver:  Go into
Setup/Config, find the option that says "initial-keystroke-list" and add the
value "i" to the right of the equals sign.  Now when you start Pine you'll
bypass the Main Menu all together, and be placed directly in the INBOX.
