concept if ever there was one), it also has a
spell-checker and a search command. Best of all, all of the commands
you need are listed in a two-line mini-menu at the bottom of each

keyboard. To find where a particular word is in your document, you'd
hit your control key and your W key at the same time, which would cheap internet service provider bring
up a prompt asking you for the word to look for.
Some of pine's commands are a tad peculiar (control-V for "page

emacs (which is utterly peculiar). But again, all of the commands you
need are listed on that two-line mini-menu, so it shouldn't take you
more than a couple of seconds to find the right one.
To use pine, type

word "grin," usually in this form:
Sometimes, though, you'll see it as *grin* or even just for short.
Some other smileys include:
;-) Wink;
:-( Frown;

OK, so maybe the last two are a cheap internet service provider little bogus :-).
