Subject: Read folders anywhere (on Unix)

I've asked this before but pine seems rather restricted as to where it
thinks folders live compared to say elm or mutt which will allow users to
read folders anywhere.

I have a shell script that builds a soft link on the fly and works well
but there must be a better way to do this...

Thanks

Terry Gray has pointed the correct way to use -c0 and I know understand...
this is what I wanted/needed.
