+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Alpine is a screen-oriented message-handling tool. In its default
+configuration, Alpine offers an intentionally limited set of
+functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a large
+list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features.
+.I alpinef
+is a variant of Alpine that uses function keys rather than mnemonic
+single-letter commands.
+Alpine's basic feature set includes:
+.IP
+View, Save, Export, Delete, Print, Reply and Forward messages.
+.IP
+Compose messages in a simple editor (Pico) with word-wrap and a spelling
+checker. Messages may be postponed for later completion.
+.IP
+Full-screen selection and management of message folders.
+.IP
+Address book to keep a list of long or frequently-used addresses.
+Personal distribution lists may be defined.
+Addresses may be taken into the address book from
+incoming mail without retyping them.
+.IP
+New mail checking and notification occurs automatically every 2.5 minutes
+and after certain commands, e.g. refresh-screen (Ctrl-L).
+.IP
+On-line, context-sensitive help screens.
+.PP
+Alpine supports MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), an Internet
+Standard for representing multipart and multimedia data in email.
+Alpine allows you to save MIME objects to files, and in some
+cases, can also initiate the correct program for viewing the object.
+It uses the system's
+.I mailcap
+configuration file to determine what program can process a particular MIME
+object type.
+Alpine's message composer does not have integral multimedia capability, but
+any type of data file --including multimedia-- can be attached to a text
+message and sent using MIME's encoding rules. This allows any group of
+individuals with MIME-capable mail software (e.g. Alpine, PC-Alpine, or many
+other programs) to exchange formatted documents, spread-sheets, image
+files, etc, via Internet email.
+.PP
+Alpine uses the
+.I c-client
+messaging API to access local and remote mail folders. This
+library provides a variety of low-level message-handling functions,
+including drivers
+for a variety of different mail file formats, as well as routines
+to access remote mail and news servers, using IMAP (Internet Message
+Access Protocol) and NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol). Outgoing mail
+is usually posted directly via SMTP
+(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.if n .ta 2.8i
+.if t .ta 2.1i
+
+The command line options/arguments are:
+.IP \fIaddress\fR 20
+Send mail to
+.I address.
+This will cause Alpine to go directly into the message composer.
+.IP \fB-attach\ \fIfile\fR 20
+Send mail with the listed
+.I file
+as an attachment.
+.IP \fB-attachlist\ \fIfile-list\fR 20
+Send mail with the listed
+.I file-list
+as an attachments.
+.IP \fB-attach_and_delete\ \fIfile\fR 20
+Send mail with the listed
+.I file
+as an attachment, and remove the file
+after the message is sent.
+.IP \fB-aux\ \fIlocal_directory\fR 20
+PC-Alpine only. When using a remote configuration (-p <remote_config>) this tells
+PC-Alpine the local directory to use for storing auxiliary files, like debug
+files, address books, and signature files.
+.IP \fB-bail\fR 20
+Exit if the pinerc file does not exist. This might be useful if the config
+file is accessed using some remote filesystem protocol. If the remote mount
+is missing this will cause Alpine to quit instead of creating a new pinerc.
+.IP \fB-c\ \fIcontext-number\fR 20
+context-number is the number corresponding to the
+folder-collection to which the
+.I -f
+command line argument should be applied. By default the
+.I -f
+argument is applied to the first defined folder-collection.
+.IP \fB-conf\fR 20
+Produce a sample/fresh copy of the
+system-wide configuration file,
+.I pine.conf,
+on the standard output. This is distinct from the per-user
+.I .pinerc
+file.
+.IP \fB-convert_sigs\ \fI-p\ pinerc\fR 20
+Convert signature files into literal signatures.
+.IP \fB-copy_abook\ <\fIlocal_abook\fR>\ <\fIremote_abook\fR> 20
+Copy the local address book file to a remote address book folder.
+.IP \fB-copy_pinerc\ <\fIlocal_pinerc\fR>\ <\fIremote_pinerc\fR> 20
+Copy the local pinerc file to a remote pinerc folder.
+.IP \fB-d\ \fIdebug-level\fR 20
+Output diagnostic info at
+.I debug-level
+(0-9) to the current
+.I .pine-debug[1-4]
+file. A value of 0 turns debugging off and suppresses the
+.I .pine-debug
+file.
+.IP \fB-d\ \fIkey[=val]\fR 20
+Fine tuned output of diagnostic messages where "flush" causes
+debug file writing without buffering, "timestamp" appends
+each message with a timestamp, "imap=n" where n is between
+0 and 4 representing none to verbose IMAP telemetry reporting,
+"numfiles=n" where n is between 0 and 31 corresponding to the
+number of debug files to maintain, and "verbose=n" where n is
+between 0 and 9 indicating an inverse threshold for message
+output.
+.IP \fB-f\ \fIfolder\fR 20
+Open
+.I folder
+(in first defined folder collection, use
+.I -c n
+to specify another collection) instead of INBOX.
+.IP \fB-F\ \fIfile\fR 20
+Open named text file and view with Alpine's browser.
+.IP \fB-h\fR 20
+Help: list valid command-line options.
+.IP \fB-i\fR 20
+Start up in the FOLDER INDEX screen.
+.IP \fB-I\ \fIkeystrokes\fR 20
+Initial (comma separated list of) keystrokes which Alpine should execute
+on startup.
+.IP \fB-install\fR 20
+For PC-Alpine only, this option causes PC-Alpine to prompt for some basic
+setup information, then exits.
+.IP \fB-k\fR 20
+Use function keys for commands. This is the same as running the command
+.IR alpinef .
+.IP \fB-n\ \fInumber\fR 20
+Start up with current message-number set to
+.I number.
+.IP \fB-nowrite_password_cache\fR 20
+Read from a password cache if there is one, but
+never offer to write a password to the cache
+.IP \fB-o\fR 20
+Open first folder read-only.
+.IP \fB-p\ \fIconfig-file\fR 20
+Use
+.I config-file
+as the personal configuration file instead of the default
+.IR .pinerc .
+.IP \fB-P\ \fIconfig-file\fR 20
+Use
+.I config-file
+as the configuration file instead of default
+system-wide configuration file
+.IR pine.conf .
+.IP \fB-passfile\ \fI<fully-qualified-path>\fR 20
+When password file support is compiled in, use the file specified in
+.I <fully-qualified-path>
+instead of the default.
+.IP \fB-pinerc\ \fIfile\fR 20
+Output fresh pinerc configuration to
+.I file, preserving the settings of variables that the user has made.
+Use \fIfile\fR set to ``-'' to make output go to standard out.
+.IP \fB-pwdcertdir\ \fI<fully-qualified-path>\fR 20
+When SMIME and password file support are compiled in, this variable sets
+the directory to store your personal key and certificate to encrypt and
+decrypt your password file.
+.IP \fB-r\fR 20
+Use restricted/demo mode.
+.I Alpine
+will only send mail to itself
+and functions like save and export are restricted.
+.IP \fB-registry\ \fIcmd\fR 20
+For PC-Alpine only, this option affects the values of
+Alpine's registry entries.
+Possible values for \fIcmd\fR are set, clear, and dump.
+\fISet\fR will always reset Alpine's registry
+entries according to its current settings.
+\fIClear\fR will clear the registry values.
+\fIClearsilent\fR will silently clear the registry values.
+\fIDump\fR will display the values of current registry settings.
+Note that the dump command is currently disabled.
+Without the -registry option, PC-Alpine will write values into
+the registry only if there currently aren't any values set.
+.IP \fB-smimedir\ \fI<fully-qualified-path>\fR
+If SMIME is compiled in, this argument sets the directory where the
+public, private, and certificate authorities certificates and keys
+are stored. If not set by the command line the default is
+~/.alpine-smime
+.IP \fB-sort\ \fIorder\fR
+Sort the FOLDER INDEX display in one of the following orders:
+.I arrival, date, subject, orderedsubj, thread, from, size, score, to, cc,
+or
+.I reverse. Arrival
+order is the default.
+The OrderedSubj choice simulates a threaded sort.
+Any sort may be reversed by adding
+.I /reverse
+to it.
+.I Reverse
+by itself is the same as
+.IR arrival/reverse .
+.IP \fB-supported\fR 20
+Some options may or may not be supported depending on how Alpine
+was compiled.
+This is a way to determine which options are supported in the particular
+copy of Alpine you are using.
+.IP \fB-uninstall\fR 20
+For PC-Alpine only, this option causes PC-Alpine to remove references to
+Alpine in Windows settings.
+.IP \fB-url\ \fIurl\fR 20
+Open the given
+.I url.
+Cannot be used with
+.I -f
+or
+.I -F
+options.
+.IP \fB-v\fR 20
+Version: Print version information.
+.IP \fB-version\fR 20
+Version: Print version information.
+.IP \fB-x\ \fIconfig\fR 20
+Use configuration exceptions in
+.I config.
+Exceptions are used to override your default pinerc
+settings for a particular platform, can be a local file or
+a remote folder.
+.IP \fB-z\fR 20
+Enable ^Z and SIGTSTP so alpine may be suspended.
+.IP \fI-option\=\fIvalue\fR 20
+Assign
+.I value
+to the config option
+.I option
+e.g. -signature-file=sig1 or -feature-list=signature-at-bottom
+(Note: feature-list values are additive)
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+
+There are several levels of Alpine configuration. Configuration values at
+a given level over-ride corresponding values at lower levels. In order of
+increasing precedence:
+
+ o built-in defaults.
+.br
+ o system-wide
+.I pine.conf
+file.
+.br
+ o personal
+.I .pinerc
+file (may be set via built-in Setup/Config menu.)
+.br
+ o command-line options.
+.br
+ o system-wide
+.I pine.conf.fixed
+file.
+
+There is one exception to the rule that configuration values are replaced
+by the value of the same option in a higher-precedence file: the
+feature-list variable has values that are additive, but can be negated by
+prepending "no-" in front of an individual feature name. Unix Alpine also
+uses the following environment variables:
+
+ TERM
+.br
+ DISPLAY (determines if Alpine can display IMAGE attachments.)
+.br
+ SHELL (if not set, default is /bin/sh )
+.br
+ MAILCAPS (semicolon delimited list of path names to mailcap files)

+.SH Name
+pico \- simple text editor in the style of the Alpine Composer
+.SH Syntax
+.B pico
+[
+.I options
+] [
+.I file
+]
+.SH Description
+\fIPico\fR is a simple, display-oriented text editor based on
+the Alpine message system composer. As with Alpine, commands are
+displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive
+help is provided. As characters are typed they are immediately
+inserted into the text.
+.PP
+Editing commands are entered using control-key
+combinations. As a work-around for communications programs that
+swallow certain control characters, you can emulate a control key
+by pressing ESCAPE twice, followed by the desired control character,
+e.g. "ESC ESC c" would be equivalent to entering a ctrl-c.
+The editor has five basic features: paragraph justification,
+searching, block cut/paste, a spelling checker, and a file browser.
+.PP
+Paragraph justification (or filling) takes place in the paragraph that
+contains the cursor, or, if the cursor is between lines, in the paragraph
+immediately below. Paragraphs are delimited by blank lines, or by lines
+beginning with a space or tab. Unjustification can be done immediately
+after justification using the control-U key combination.
+.PP
+String searches are not sensitive to case, but one can be done
+by pressing the control-W followed by control-^. A search begins at
+the current cursor position and wraps around the end of the text.
+The most recent search string is offered as the default in subsequent
+searches.
+.PP
+Blocks of text can be moved, copied or deleted with creative use of the
+command for mark (ctrl-^), delete (ctrl-k) and undelete (ctrl-u).
+The delete command will remove text between the "mark" and the current
+cursor position, and place it in the "cut" buffer. The undelete command
+effects a "paste" at the current cursor position.
+.PP
+The spell checker examines all words in the text. It then offers, in
+turn, each misspelled word for correction while
+highlighting it in the text. Spell checking can be cancelled at any time.
+Alternatively, \fIpico\fR will substitute for the default spell checking
+routine a routine defined by the SPELL environment variable. The replacement
+routine should read standard input and write standard output.
+.PP
+The file browser is offered as an option in the "Read File" and "Write Out"
+command prompts. It is intended to help in searching for specific files
+and navigating directory hierarchies. Filenames with sizes and names of
+directories in the current working directory are presented for selection.
+The current working directory is displayed on the top line of the display
+while the list of available commands takes up the bottom two. Several
+basic file manipulation functions are supported: file renaming, copying,
+and deletion.
+.PP
+More specific help is available in \fIpico\fR's online help.
+.SH Options
+.IP \fB+\fIn\fB\fR
+Causes \fIpico\fR to be started with the cursor located \fIn\fR lines
+into the file. (Note: no space between "+" sign and number)
+.IP \fB-a\fR
+Display all files including those beginning with a period (.).
+.IP \fB-b\fR
+Enable the option to Replace text matches found using the
+"Where is" command. This now does nothing. Instead, the option is
+always turned on (as if the -b flag had been specified).
+.IP \fB-d\fR
+Rebind the "delete" key so the character the cursor is on is rubbed out
+rather than the character to its left.
+.IP \fB-e\fR
+Enable file name completion.
+.IP \fB-f\fR
+Use function keys for commands. This option supported only in
+conjunction with UW Enhanced NCSA telnet.
+.IP \fB-h\fR
+List valid command line options.
+.IP \fB-j\fR
+Enable "Goto" command in the file browser. This enables the command to
+permit explicitly telling \fIpilot\fR which directory to visit.
+.IP \fB-g\fR
+Enable "Show Cursor" mode in file browser. Cause cursor to be positioned
+before the current selection rather than placed at the lower left of the
+display.
+.IP \fB-k\fR
+Causes "Cut Text" command to remove characters from the cursor position
+to the end of the line rather than remove the entire line.
+.IP \fB-m\fR
+Enable mouse functionality. This only works when \fIpico\fR is run from
+within an X Window System "xterm" window.
+.IP \fB-n\fIn\fB\fR
+The \-n\fIn\fR option enables new mail notification. The \fIn\fR
+argument is optional, and specifies how often, in seconds, your
+mailbox is checked for new mail. For example, \-n60 causes \fIpico\fR
+to check for new mail once every minute. The default interval is 180
+seconds, while the minimum allowed is 30. (Note: no space between "n" and
+the number)
+.IP \fB-o\ \fIdir\fB\fR
+Sets operating directory. Only files within this directory are accessible.
+Likewise, the file browser is limited to the specified directory subtree.
+.IP \fB-r\fIn\fB\fR
+Sets column used to limit the "Justify" command's right margin
+.IP \fB-s\ \fIspeller\fR
+Specify an alternate program
+.I spell
+to use when spell checking.
+.IP \fB-t\fR
+Enable "tool" mode. Intended for when \fIpico\fR is used as the
+editor within other tools (e.g., Elm, Pnews). \fIPico\fR will not prompt
+for save on exit, and will not rename the buffer during the "Write Out"
+command.
+.IP \fB-v\fR
+View the file only, disallowing any editing.
+.IP \fB-version\fR
+Print Pico version and exit.
+.IP \fB-w\fR
+Disable word wrap (thus allow editing of long lines).
+.IP \fB-x\fR
+Disable keymenu at the bottom of the screen.
+.IP \fB-z\fR
+Enable ^Z suspension of \fIpico\fR.
+.IP \fB-p\fR
+Preserve the "start" and "stop" characters, typically Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S,
+which are sometimes used in communications paths to control data flow
+between devices that operate at different speeds.
+.IP \fB-Q\ \fIquotestr\fB\fR
+Set the quote string. Especially useful when composing email, setting this
+allows the quote string to be checked for when Justifying paragraphs.
+A common quote string is "> ".
+.IP \fB-W\ \fIword_separators\fB\fR
+If characters listed here appear in the middle of a word surrounded by
+alphanumeric characters that word is split into two words. This is used by
+the Forward and Backward word commands and by the spell checker.
+.IP \fB-q\fR
+Termcap or terminfo definition for input escape sequences are used in
+preference to sequences defined by default. This option is only available
+if \fIpico\fR was compiled with the TERMCAP_WINS define turned on.
+.IP \fB-setlocale_ctype\fR
+Do setlocale(LC_CTYPE) if available. Default is to not do this setlocale.
+.IP \fB-no_setlocale_collate\fR
+Do not do setlocale(LC_COLLATE). Default is to do this setlocale.
+.PP
+Lastly, when a running \fIpico\fR is disconnected (i.e., receives a
+SIGHUP), \fIpico\fR will save the current work if needed before exiting.
+Work is saved under the current filename with ".save" appended.
+If the current work is unnamed, it is saved under the filename "pico.save".
+.PP
+.SH Bugs
+The manner in which lines longer than the display width are dealt
+is not immediately obvious. Lines that continue beyond the edge
+of the display are indicated by a '$' character at the end
+of the line. Long lines are scrolled horizontally as the cursor
+moves through them.
+.SH Files

+.SH NAME
+rpload \- alpine remote data utility
+.SH SYNTAX
+
+.B rpload
+[ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Rpload may be used to convert local Alpine configuration files or address
+books into remote configurations or address books.
+It is intended to be used by system administrators.
+Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
+.LP
+Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and
+Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used
+(with the help of Alpine's \fB-p\fR, \fB-P\fR, and \fB-x\fR commands or
+PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables)
+as the user's remote configuration folder.
+A copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header
+lines to satisfy Alpine.
+.IP \fB-f\fR 20
+Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format.
+This will \fBdelete\fR the contents of the folder so use it carefully.
+.IP \fB-s\fR\ \fBtrimSize\fR 20
+If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus
+trimsize (one is for the header message), then messages 2, 3, and so on
+will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left.
+If this option is not set no trimming will be done.
+.IP \fB-t\fR\ \fBType\fR 20
+The possible Types are \fBpinerc\fR, \fBabook\fR, and \fBsig\fR.
+(Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
+pinerc should be used instead.)
+.IP \fB-l\fR\ \fBLocal_file\fR 20
+The file on this system that is to be copied.
+.IP \fB-r\fR\ \fBRemote_folder\fR 20
+A remote folder name to be copied to.
+See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name.
+One example is
+.br
+{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
