Subject: Sug (ID RG2AG):

hi developer people:

i am looking for a way to toggle back and forth between a message i am
writing, and a message i am responding to.  i do not want to include
the original message in my response, and i do not want to postpone the
message i am composing: postponing is too inefficient when you are
repeatedly going back and forth, and including the original message is
inefficent when the original message is really long.  i simple want to be
able to toggle back and forth, preferably with a control charachter.
is this possible?  the support staff at my institution says all i can do
is include or postpone.  please help!  thanks.  nancy evans

Nancy,

Ask your support staff if they have either "Screen" or "Facetterm".
This lets you open more than one "window" at a time and lets you run different
apps in different "windows". It's like having 2 terminals on your desk but you
only have one and you can toggle back and forth between the screens.

However, I don't think you can open up two pine sessions at once without
locking them up.

You would have to save (export) you orginal message as a file, and then refer
back to that file while you were replying to the message in pine.

Perhaps some other readers on this group have another work around.

I think that we are all looking over a real easy way. Just print 
out the message that you want to refer to and then recycle it once your 
done using it.
