I just started using pine on UNIX. I recently received to messages with
attachments. When I tried to view the attachments, pine could not display
them and told me to try saving them. I hit 's' for save and hit return but
now I can't find the attachments anywhere in pine. At the UNIX prompt,
when I type 'ls' it says:

IMG01.JPG       dead.letter        1heggen.doc     mail/

These are my two attachments but I have no idea how to view them. Is there
any way to get them into MS Works? One of the attachments is a picture and
the other attachment is a text message created in MS Word. I appreciate
any suggestions you can give me.

> any suggestions you can give me. 

It would seem that the machine you are typing on is a PC.  It probably
connects with ebicom.net via some dialup connection SW.  It may be a ppp
connection or it may be an async connection.  *We* can't tell from here so
you will have to tell us more about your operating environment so we can
be more helpful.

Another suggestion would be to contact the helpdesk at ebicom.net.  If
that is your ISP they have probably answered that question hundreds of
times for all their other users.
