It sounds like Pine does not know your terminal type. Before you
start Pine, type:
echo $TERM
at the shell prompt. What does it say? It should say something like
"vt100", "vt102", "vt320", etc. If not, give the following command at
the shell prompt:
term vt102
(or vt220, or vt320, etc); whatever agrees with MS-DOS Kermit's emulation.
If you believe your terminal type is set correctly, but you still have
this problem, then maybe UNIX somehow got the wrong idea about your
screen diemensions. What does it says about "rows" and "cols" when you
type:
stty all
Try giving the following command at the shell prompt before starting Pine:
stty rows 24 cols 80
and see if that fixes things up. (NOTE: the "term" and "stty" commands
shown above are for SunOS, which is used at Columbia -- different commands
or syntax might be used on other UNIX versions.)
Meanwhile, a hint about viewing material that scrolled past too fast for you
to read it: just use the PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll backwards and
forwards in the terminal screen.
