pine -f ../../../../../var/spool/mail/USER2 pine's -f flag interprets its argument relative to the user's 'Mail' (or 'mail') directory - hence the need to use these '../' things. note that if you use '..' from the '/' directory, you remain in the root directory - so you can always use more '../' things, without getting errors. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
