As with Alpine, commands are +displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive +help is provided. +.PP +\fIPilot\fR displays the current working directory at the top of the +screen. The directory's contents are displayed in columns of file name, +file size pairs. Names that are directories are indicated by the name +"(dir)" in place of the file size. The parent of the current working +directory is indicated by the file name ".." and size of "(parent dir)". +File names that are symbolic links to other files are displayed with a +file size of "--". +.PP +Several basic file manipulation commands are provided: Delete, Rename, +Copy, View, Launch, and Edit. The "View" and "Edit" commands operate on +text files only. By default, the "View" command displays files +using "alpine -F", but will respect the environment variable PAGER if set. +The "Edit" command simply invokes "pico". The "Launch" command provides +a convenient way to either execute the selected file or to run an +application on it. +.PP +More specific help is available in \fIpilot\fR's online help. +.SH Options +.IP \fB-a\fR +Display all files including those beginning with a period (.). +.IP \fB-f\fR +Use function keys for commands. This option supported only in +conjunction with UW Enhanced NCSA telnet. +.IP \fB-g\fR +Enable "Show Cursor" mode. Cause cursor to be positioned +before the current selection rather than placed at the lower left of the +display. +.IP \fB-j\fR +Enable "Goto" command. This enables the command to permit explicitly +telling \fIpilot\fR which directory to visit. +.IP \fB-m\fR +Enable mouse functionality. This only works when \fIpilot\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 \fIpilot\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 the specified directory are +accessible and browsing is limited to the specified directory subtree. +.IP \fB-v\fR +Enable single vertical column display. +.IP \fB-x\fR +Disable keymenu at the bottom of the screen. +.IP \fB-z\fR +Enable ^Z suspension of \fIpilot\fR. +.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 \fIpilot\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. +.fi +.SH Authors +Michael Seibel +.br +Copyright 1994-2007 by the University of Washington. +.SH "See Also" +alpine(1) +.br +Source distribution (part of the Alpine Message System): + +$Date: 2005/01/14 20:40:14 $ -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
