No problem with the DOS version. PC-PINE, DOS version, does have a nifty way
of keeping up with the message numbers. I just had a problem trying to figure
out how to set it up. I needed some help, and I got it. I believe the
problem with understanding the setup documentation for PC-PINE for DOS
derives from the instructions having been written apparently by Unix users.
I don't understand Unix stuff. Never dabbled very much with it. Most Unix
users don't know how to communicate very well with DOS users, and vice-versa.
