Hallo, I would like to ask you if there is any way of using
internet browsers by having access to pine only, because my 
local administrators let me use only pine. I'll appreciate
your help.

No. You would need to have access to your config files and you certainly
don't have that because otherwise you could enable suspend. Talk to
your admin and have him give you access to a webbrowser.

I'm not sure, but I do remember hearing about a Unixmobile. Instead of a
dashboard, it simply has a light-up panel bearing the symbol '?'. Apparently
the skilled operator will usually know what's wrong. (T.Speight)

Although you don't supply many details about your situation, you might
want to try the following.  At the point where you normally type "pine",
type "lynx" instead.  Lynx is a text-based web browser often associated
with Pine, and your admin may have it on the system.  If not, you're no
worse off than at present!

No, Pine cannot do anything other than read mail and news.
If you are prepared to learn to use a *really* fast browser, which is
*text only* no graphics nonsense, quit pine and when at the command prompt
do a:
$lynx
This will invoke lynx (if installed on your system) which is wickedly
fast. Get used to its interface, 'cos it sure aint Netscape or IE! But
that may solve your problem.
