is there in Pine a command that will print a foldername in full.

for eaxmple to save an email to a particular folder called, well, lets
say: Clinton's love affairs.

I've tapped down to that collection of folders called, say: FamousPeople.

then, either from memory or by invoking ^T i get to see the list of
folders in that collection, and then I need to either select "Clinton love
affairs" etc  OR select it.  

Well, it would be a lot easier if I needed merely to type C and then type,
say [tab]  as we do in UNIX for the name to be typed in full.

2---For that matter is there an esier way of selecting the collection of
folders than tapping 12 or more downarows before getting to the wanted
collection/

thank you

confirming some basic Unix commands - for pvt discussion. Hey is there a

Look for "enable-tab-completion" in the config screen.
