Hello.  A while ago I hit something somewhere.  Since then, my problems
are:
1.  I always have to answer- which alternate editor?/usr/local/bin/pico
    which I do not know how to answer so I have to cancel

2. Then I always get a message that flashes"no room for file: no such file
	directory "

3.  In addition, I must always type "unlimit filesize" before calling up
pine even though i have very limited mail and folder usage.  I have
cleared it all out, but still type 'unlimit etc.

I know I did something, I just do not know how to undo what I did.  Thanks
for any help.  If I try and contact my local man, my mail gets bounced
back.

Talk to your sysadmin. In short:

ad 1. You have to set up your config in order to invoke the alternate editor
implicitly.

ad 2. Either you've exceeded your quota or you're trying to write into a
"broken" directory. Try invoking ed as your alternate editor and try to
change your temp directory to ~/tmp

ad 3. Seems like a quota problem, too.

2. and 3. are local problems for which you consult your sysadmin.

Cheers,
Robin
