Looked at the help text for Pine. In it he noted some of the commands that could be done while using Pine. The commands are listed below: (Note.. ^ = the control button which must be pressed at the same time as the corresponding letter.)

^L Repainting the screen.

-If using pine from a modem, repaint will clear the screen of unwanted characters and put the original text back up.

^C This command will abort actions you started but do not want to finish.

^E Moves the cursor to the end of the line.

^A Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.

^K Deletes the line of text that the cursor is resting on.

^U Restores the line that had just been deleted.

^X Sends the message.

^O Postpones the current message.

-Can resume writing at a later time.

-You can only postpone one message at a time.

^G Get help command.

Went to the search engine and found the Beginner's Guide to URL's. In it were some methods of connect to URL's along with a brief definition of the acronyms that identifies them. Here are a few of the most common acronyms:

http- Hyper text transport protocol.

URL- Universal Resource Locator.

URI- Universal Resource Identifier.

Another thing that was found is called WWW Talk. It is actually a mailing list that discusses web architecture and technological advances. (Both current and future advances. )
