Subject: end suspend in Pine

Today I tried using the Pine "suspend" command (Control Z).  It worked,
kinda ... I couldn't figure out hwo to "un-suspend" the process and get
back into Pine.  I when I tried "exit" I got a message that there were no
suspended jobs; when I tried getting back into Pine I was told that it was
already running.

Could someone please let me know by direct mail (as I don't read the
newsgroup) how to correct whatever I did.

thanks.

Well whenever we suspend  our (Silicon Graphics) copy of Pine it actually
*tells* you how to get back into it:

	Pine suspended. Give the "fg" command to come back.
	Warning: Your IMAP connection will be closed if Pine
	is suspended for more than 30 minutes

	Suspended (signal)

Didn't yours?

The "suspend" feature is not unique to Pine, but is commonly implemented
in many UNIX programs.  The feature is usually called "job control", and
is documented in the on-line manual page for the shell.

Perhaps it might be worth starting to read it?  Or at least have the
courtesy to check it for a few days looking for the answer to your query?
(After all it is a (two-way) discussion forum, not really an information
service.  :-)
