Pine and filters

[Dan Murphy]

Hi.
Well I think I need more of a detailed explanation.  First, what do I need
to enable in setup, and where in pine do I need to define a nick name.  I
have no problem creating a folder, but I'm not up on all the advanced
features, so I'm confused about what you aree telling me.
