Note: Pine is not available on any central UITS systems. UITS does not support the use of Pine at Indiana University.

Note: The software discussed here is no longer in common use at Indiana University, and UITS may no longer be able to verify the document's accuracy. The UITS Support Center may no longer have the manuals and other materials required to support this software adequately.

To use accented characters in Pine, you must first make sure that Pine is using the correct character set:

From the Main Menu in Pine, press s for Setup and then c for Config.
Use the arrow key to move down through the settings until you highlight "character-set". If "character-set" is set to "ISO-8859-1", you do not need to make any changes. If not, press c for Change Value and enter ISO-8859-1 .
Press e for Exit Config, and y to save your changes.

To type these characters, hold down the Alt key and type the correct sequence of numbers on the numeric keypad. When you finish typing, release the Alt key. You should see the accented character within your Pine email editor.
