There is no global directory of e-mail addresses, and not all universities make personal information available. Options on the Pine's main menu can be selected by typing the letter given beside the menu option. Alternatively, you can scroll the highlighted bar through the menu options using the up and down cursor keys. At the bottom of each Pine screen you will find a menu of commands available to you. These commands change depending on what screen you are currently viewing.
Some commands are selected by pressing a single key, others require two keystrokes.
For the second command, Pine simply accepts the e-mail address you give it. The third command starts up Pine's Main Menu screen, from which you can choose the Compose option to create and send a message. The difference between these commands is that the first two bypass the Main Menu and take you directly to the Compose Message screen. The Compose Screen consists of two parts. The Message Text area is where you can type the message portion of your e-mail item.
