i'm that kid who is always talking about multiple users with pc-pine.
cause lets face it is not as good as unix pines, etc. with multiple
accounts.  last time i was talking about putting each users configuration
files in a seperate directory in your pine directory, and then changing
a shortcut for a certain users 'Start In' variable in the Shortcut
properties window.  well, I've come across a problem in my own theory
i made up.  why is it that i can't put c:\Pine\aaron (my
name) for my 'Start In' variable, and then pine will automatically find
the pinerc file there?  cause i have to put -p pinerc to tell pine where
the pinerc file.  which is funny because i'm essentially telling pine to
do what it should do by default, which is look for pinerc in the same
directory as pine.exe.  i don't have to put -p c:\Pine\aaron\pinerc, or
jut -p aaron\pinerc.  is it because of the order Pine looks for the pinerc
file, and then looks in the 'Start In' command.  sorry but i don't know
how pine works inside, and only so much about windows.  but this doesn't
seem to make sense.  now i am i supposed to send a suggestion to the pine
development team like this.  Or are you guys listening in right now?
