both run as different accounts on the remote machine
what i need to know how to do is how to have two different alpine
terminals one for bdalzell and one for borzoi without having to had
reconfigure alpien each time i want to open each different account.
i suppose I could create two different users locally - bdalzell and borzoi
and then switch between users to access the different e-mail accounts.

to be alloweddpwe
