[techtalk] Pine Usage

[Tech Docs]

yes I am typing pine in lower case only and I am able to locate pine as
well. But, I remember someone using it with option "export pine" set and so
on. I don't remember how he did it. I have mailed him several times and ever
since he went to America, he has not replied at all :-)

Cheers!
Sriram
