        Nope, there is no way to currently reconnect Window#1.  The best 
thing you can do is quit Window #1 and proceed in Window #2.  Actually, the 
best thing you can do is not to try starting a second pine unless you tell 
it a specific folder (not INBOX) to start in.

Or use the '-o' option on the second pine, it doesn't grab the lock then.

Extract from Pine's "man" page:

          -f folder           Open folder (in first defined folder
                              collection) instead of INBOX.

Thus:

	pine -f foldername

or, for IMAP connections with most shells:

	pine -f '{imap.yoursite.domain}foldername'

Cheers,

That's a satisfactory solution to another problem:
I wanted to mark the outgoing mail with different 
character-set header lines. You have helped me to
solve the problem: I can open two or three pine 
instances in two or three xterm windows

pine -p .pinercISO-8859-1
pine -o -p .pinercKOI8-R
pine -o -p .pinercISO-8859-8

I can easily read in either window, since it is easy
to change fonts in xterm window by <Ctrl-Right-Button>,
But I send letters in different languages from the
different windows.
