    This is not really a Pine question, because Pine does not do mail
forwarding.  There may be ways to do what you want, but exactly how
will depend on what operating system you are using Pine on.  If you are
on a Un*x-like system, just put a one-line file named .forward in your
home directory containing the email address you want mail forwarded to. 
(Remember to remove it when you get back!)  For other systems you might
need to check other newsgroups.

Sure, use "pico" to create a file called ".forward" in your home  
directory.

Put the email address in the .forward file.  Ie if your AOL account  
is "[email-masked]"

then put "[email-masked]" in the .forward (no " marks, of course)
