 	Aha! I had forgotten that way. <sigh>

I did all that. ML now shows :

Folder-Collection <Incoming-Folders>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INBOX    ARTEMIS  bblx     novalug  VCDL     ACFG     FM-inbox

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Folder-Collection <titan.lserv.com IMAP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     [Select Here to See Expanded List]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Folder-Collection <FM>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     [Select Here to See Expanded List]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Folder-Collection <AVOID (Lserv local for emergencies)>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 	Here I hit a snag. The renamed one opened; but when I 
tried ;PN, I started getting UID bug messages.

 	This time, instead of interrupting them, I let them run 
for a long time while I did something else. When I got back, they 
were *still* running. I told Pine M I ^W ^V, and tried to get 
back to composing this message. Instead, the UID messages started 
up again.

 	Nothing I could do in Pine would stop them, including an 
attempt to quit Pine. I finally broke the ssh connection with 
<enter> followed by ~, a period, and <enter> again. Then I ssh'd 
back onto titan, launched Pine, and here we are again.
