It sounds to me like he wanted for some reason to be able to edit a
different pinerc *outside* of a pine session.

Not exactly related, but in my recent attempts at trying to figure out
why my normal .pinerc takes forever to start up and a very very similar
one (haven't figured out the exact difference yet of course) starts up
very quickly but doesn't know the correct width of the screen..

anyway, even though I succeeded in my task by using two separate pine
sessions, I think it would be useful to be able to "print" out the 
setup/config screen to a file.  That is, save out the way it looks to the
user.  I could have copied/pasted several pages to a file but didn't end up
doing that.
