Subject: uploading files with Procomm

The PINE help file suggested posting a message at this address, hence this
request for help here.
I am trying to upload text files using PINE and Procomm (yes, some of us
are still using that old hardware and software).
There is no problem downloading files, but I have been unable to invent
any combination of commands/configurations which allows me to write an
e-mail message off-line and upload it to my ISP using Procomm and PINE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.   The local folks have been
very supportive but haven't found a solution.
Please reply privately if this address is a listserver, since I'm not a
subscriber.

Hey, that's all you need to use Pine.  A Pentium running at 266MHz won't
be any faster for any given modem.  (BTW, I use Procomm on a 486 / 66 ;-)

> very supportive but haven't found a solution.

Anyway, here's what I do:

At the prompt (outside of Pine), I type:  rz  -v

Then it gives me a line of gibberish, so I press the Page Up key (for
Upload -- Page down if you're downloading), type in the path and filename,
and hit <ENTER>.  It does the rest.

At my last server, I'd use   rz  -a   for ASCII files (text) and
                             rz  -b   for binary files (programs, etc.)

If that doesn't work, let me know.  I'll check my settings in ProComm and
see how they compare to yours.
