Hello,
	I was wondering if you can tell me how to view attachments.
Every time I try to view it, it tells me that I can't.  It suggests that I
save it and it goes to my home directory.  Unfortunately, I don't know
what or where the home directory is and don't know how to access it.   Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Do you know what /etc/mailcap is? If not, read the pine documentation
or ask your local admin.

On a Unix system, each user has her own directory (a.k.a. "folder" in
child-speak). Those are located under the root directory, i.e. you'd
probably be /home/lofukofuka.

The command "cd" or "cd ~/" will get you there.

RTFM (which is adult-speak for "information at your fingertips". pine's
online help is quite ok, and there is plenty of information available
on the pine website, including a database of this list.
