Dear Sir,
	I've been trying to send a text document from my pc's directory but 
don't know how to do it. If you could e-mail the process then I would be
very grateful.
						Thanking You,
							Jeffrey Yep

You must be kidding ...

Ok, first answer: rtfm, Rtfm, RTFM, *RTFM*!

Now, I suppose, you've already succeeded in getting into the compose
buffer (that's eg, c from the main menu). And I surmise, you've been
able to insert a correct address, perhaps even a subject.

Go below the 'Message Text' mark, then type ctrl-r and insert the file
name directly or type ctrl-t to get a listing (via pilot, afaik).

btw, I'd advise you to (a) correspond with your local help desk and
(b) with your doctor to have your eyes checked - maybe, you should
just try and have a look at the bottom line of your pine term.

l8er, norbert

If you looked into the headers of the original mail you'd note that the
individual is running pine for SVR4.  So, he is running from a shell
account.  He probably needs help uploading the file to the Unix box
*before* he gets to the proceedure you've outlined.

So, let's ask him if he know how to do that first.....

I have just joined this list, and I clearly get the impression that this 
is a very nasty and conceeded list.  Just because beginners may not know 
the answer does not mean that answers need to be given with such a mean
know it all attitude.  I guess I won't be asking any Pine questions
since I am a beginner

Easy now, Kathleen... Before you mail to a mailing list, you might
want to read the netiquette, preferably the version by Arlene
Rinaldi. You are *not* supposed to bump into a list, but rather read
the docs first, then lurk for some weeks, then ask questions. If you
need a quick answer, use the newsgroup comp.mail.pine.

It's an "I've read this 1001 times before in the last 2 weeks"
attitude. Jeffrey's stance might be questionable, but I find his
answer perfectly acceptable, because it was right. 

KAG> I guess I won't be asking any Pine questions since I am a beginner

If you can't stand the heat, don't go on the net... If you browse the
pine archive, you'll likely not find a rude answer to an acceptable,
sensible question.

And yes, you don't need to quote an entire message, either. RTFM ->
netiquette. 

Cheers,
Robin

Conceeded? Never conceed nothin', and use the spell checker (^T).

If you have a question and have made a reasonable effort to solve the
problem yourself then by all means ask.  

Do not be so hasty to judge the entire list based upon a few messages
which you deem inappropriate.  Also, remember some very sound advice,
"Judge not, lest ye be judged".  (Or words to that effect.)
