Hi,

I've been experimenting with Pine and like many of its
features. However, to convert, I would need to be
able to use the external pager "less" in place of the
default Pine pager.

I've searched the documentation and pine-info archives but 
could not determine 1) Whether this is possible and 2) If so, 
then how?

Can any of you help?

Please reply directly since I do not subscribe to the list.

Thanks IA,
Felix

Try piping.

Also you should type ^Y (not sure why, but just trial-and-error here, as I
go).  I don't know what the options are really all about, maybe they are
not documented.

Now type: 

less

or

more

or something or other.  

By the way, I've *tried* using more or less when in Tin reading news
articles.  Wanting to be able to scroll up and down some long messages a
line at a time.  But, this seems to result in some weirdness.  Somehow, at
some point, the whole account integrity falls apart.  The UNIX shell would
start acting oddly.  It seemed kind of random, and no telling what it was
all about.
