There are potentially four sources of configuration settings which are shown below in decreasing order of precedence: 1. Unchangeable, system-wide settings from the PMDF_ TABLE:PINE.CONF-FIXED file. 2. Per-user settings from the user's PMDF_INIT:PINE.PINERC file. 3. System-wide settings from the PMDF_TABLE:PINE.CONF file. 4. Default Pine values. One exception to the above precedence scheme is the FEATURE-LIST option which is cumulative. In order to turn off a feature, you have to negate it by prepending NO- in front of an individual feature.
