Dear Guys,

This may seem like a silly question but how do you save from PINE to a
disk?. 

I know you`re thinking that this is so easy that the staff at this system
should know how to do this.....well, that`s just it!  They have no idea...
You`ll notice I`m comming to you from Japan...and I`m really glad that our
printers are on line most of the time........these people are really new
with this whole computer business and they know nothing about your e-mail
(pine)....

They use Mac`s here.....and if there is any way you could tell me how to
save my mail to a disk I would really appreciate it.....so would about 300
other international students....

I would not write this e-mail if I did not think that it was absolutely
necessary......and my last option.

HELP Please! 

Sincerely yours

Nino

> Dear Guys,

There are some "gals" here to....so be careful.  :-)

> other international students....

There's have your problem there....

You are using a MAC, yes?   But you are using pine on a Unix box running
an OS of SVR4.  So, you must be connecting to that Unix box via some means
(telnet?, dialup?, direct-connect?) logging on to the Unix box and typing
"pine" to start a pine session.  How am I doing so far?

What you'd like is to save a message to your MAC disk, right?

Well, when you use the "save" or "export" commands within pine it will
place the message on the Unix disk.  Do you know how to list or view files
on the Unix box?

You need to determine the best way to get the file from the Unix box to
you MAC.  That could be as simple as FTP.  Do the folks there know about
FTP?

> necessary......and my last option.

I think we may be half way there.  Or maybe you can fill in the blanks and
come up with a solution?  If not, let me know.

Regards,
Ed
