Interesting.  I'm using Unix Pine 4.04.  I downloaded the Solaris
2.5 (or was it 2.4?) binary from the pine ftp site.

On a side note, I am using UNIX Pine 4.03, not .04, and send the text
string through my terminal emulator and do a "Start" on it on the PC (to
bring up IE 4 automatically) and it does not include any quotes in the
string going out (I can see each char in debug mode). Maybe 4.04 is
different.

I'm using Unix Pine 4.03 on Solaris.  From some suggestions on the
newsgroup I finally got rid of the single quotes surrounding the
openURL and added backslash escapes.  This works fine for all the URLs
I've seen in this thread, whereas almost any URL broke it when I had
single quotes.  Here's the relevant url-viewers entry:

"/apps/netscape  -remote openURL\\(_URL_,\\ new-window\\)"
