Subject: "No options screen yet" ?

Why, when I enter Setup, then select Options, do I get only the message "No
options screen yet" ?  I've checked .pinerc, saw nothing that seemed relative to
this...  

Can anyone give me a pointer here??  I'm a Pine newbie <g>.

Thanks,
Bill

It would have been a BIG help if you had bothered to say if you are using
(UNIX) Pine or PC-Pine, and what version number you are using (it's
usually shown up in the top-left corner of the Pine display).

The configuration screen was introduced in (I think) version 3.90 or 3.91
of Pine.  It has been enhanced, expanded and developed in more recent
versions.

The current version of Pine is 3.96.  It sounds as if you are using a
really old version.  Check, and if you are, then look at upgrading to the
current version.  This is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cac.washington.edu.

Cheers,

[email-masked] (Mike Brudenell) complains:

I think it would also be a big help if the version string included the OS, eg:

	DOS-PINE-3.96
	UNIX-PINE-4.01
	Linux-PINE-4.2

How about this for the next release?
