To whom it may concern

	I just have a question about how do i talk to someone in pine?
I'm not saying write them an e-mail ok...  For example a friend of mine
was talking to me she said she knew i was in Pine, she said she kept
calling me but I really don't know how to respond...  Would someone please
help me an explain to me more about Pine...  I thank you very very much in
advance....

	sincerely,

Hi -

Pine is not a "talk" program.  You must quit out of Pine and then use your
"talk" program.  (The "allow-talk" option in Pine merely allows talk
requests to come through to your screen, corrupting Pine's display in the
process.)

On most UNIX systems this is started by giving a "talk"  command followed
by the return address of the person calling you.  For example.

	talk [email-masked]

See the manual page for your "talk" program for information on how to use
it (this forum is not a suitable place to sort out using talk).  The
return address is almost always displayed as part of the connection
request you see when someone tries to contact you; make a note of it
(it'll say something like "Respond with [email-masked]").

Cheers,
