I've since found out that you need to specify an argument with the -p
option.  In this case, a "1" will do nicely.

i.e.  patch -p 1 < patch....

Is there a way to send the contents of your address book to another mail
address using pine? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks,
Ken

Use Ctrl R in the body area of the message, and type ~/.addressbook in the
filename field that pops up.

With pine 4.02 you can go to the address book and use the "forward" to
select any number of entries (1-entire) from your address book and send them
to someone.

To send the whole address book you can go to the address book, "select (;)"
, "all", then "apply" the forward.

Ed
