Subject: difficulty with PINE

I am baffled by a recurring problem:  when I receive my E-mail messages,
there is always a line of type stuck in where it doesn't belong and
frequently a piece of the message is missing.  If I print it, it prints
properly.  I can use help with this.

Secondly, I am new to PINE, and I am more familiar with what I have at
home--Eudora, but I cannot scroll down to read an entire document without
printing it because I cannot locate a key labelled "Spc."  (I thought it
might be the backspace key, but the command response tells me that it is
not accurate.)  Please advise.  Thanks

for the second, try the space bar.

for the first, check your terminal type/emulation

Ah, someone else from Chicago.

Your TERM and communications program emulation don't match, and you aren't
seeing proper screen rewrites. Karl uses Linux, as I recall.

In your .bash_profile

TERM=vt102; export TERM

The export command might be on its own line with a list of other environment
variables, which is also acceptable.

Make sure your comm program is set to emulate vt102 as well. (If only vt100 is
available to you, choose that and set TERM=vt100 instead.)
