Hello Chris, This is what happens. Pine needs to know your shell when it executes shell commands, for this, it tests to see if the SHELL variable is set. I am running the bash shell, and somehow, even though the SHELL variable is set, Pine does not pick it up. When Pine does not know which shell you are using from the SHELL variable, then pine assumes that you are using csh, hence you need to fake a csh shell, and that's the reason for that command. I haven't tested if this trick works (or does not) under tcsh. I would appreciate if you let me know what you find in this respect.
