Subject: How do I attach a file

I think I understand how to attach a file, but what I don't understand is
how to get the file from my hard drive to my pine home directory or in
other words upload the file so I can attach it.  Can you tell me how to do
that? I'm sure it's a simple process. I just don't know how to do it.

Thanks Eloise Shim

>From Pine's user guide:

Attach File Command
[...]
   The file to be attached must be on the same system as Pine. If you
   use Pine on a Unix machine but have files on a PC or Macintosh, the
   files must be transferred to the Unix system running Pine before
   they can be attached to the message being composed. Please ask your
   local consultants about the correct way to transfer a file to your
   Pine system as the method will vary from site to site.

You can use floppies, ftp mail, anything, to get the files on the u*ix 
computer. 

Cheers,
Robin
