Tweaking Pine

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Brent -
Press the spacebar to go forward a whole screen. Less has lots of neat
features that you can read about with "man less" - it can search for text,
go directly to a particular line or to the front or bottom of a document,
it can go forward or backward a screenful, a half screenful, or a line at
a time, and it can even read the file structure of .tar.gz or a .tgz
tarball without expanding, so you can see what will happen when you do
expand it.

Chuck.

It reads the first screen full or so, then I have to keep hitting enter for every line, I hate that when I'm trying to read howtos that have a ton of info before the real command to enter.

You can bring any calculator you like to the midterm, as long as it
doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on.
