Hi,

> open it later??/what can i DO????   Any help would be appreciated!!!

I guess you're under UNIX. If so, when you're reading the message, type v
to go to the viewer, then a list of the parts which form the message are
displayed, you should then place the hightlight over the part you want to
save (in this case, the picture file), and then press s in order to save
it to the current direcory... at this step a line asking you to enter the
name under which you want to save the file will appear, enter a name,
press enter and voila! :) 

Do you want to get it to your local computer?... well, ftp it from the
UNIX server  with any ftp client (like CuteFTP in Windows, for example).

Saludos.
Rodolfo.

So you see your file in the directory.  OK.  Type 

sz filename

Then it will download your file.  Then you can view that file later with
whatever program you choose.

If you wanted it on a disk, I guess you could copy it there after.  

Windows Explorer could copy the file to your drive A: (supposedly).
Somehow.  Or make a wish.

Let us hope Robin doesn't spam Jennifer.  As she needs help.  Beware.

Did you read the help pine gives you? Hit "?" in the saving screen

Sure. It's all described very well in the documentation that's available
for pine, and it's sometimes system-specific (i.e. I don't know if you're
allowed to mount a floppy if you're on a u*ix system).

Stop shouting, start reading. Go to the pine website and grab a copy of
the documentation. It's worth reading, anyway.

Robin,
	     Thank you for your help in trying to resolve this
problem.It's difficult to get a response from my server, i'm receive it
from the University here. When i do get a response, they think everyone
should now computer jargon. There have been many helpful responses and i
appreciate it but for every nice response I get alot computer geeks with
very little lives, trying to correct my english. Thank you for your direct
and kind response.
