[PLUG] Tidying up

[Anthony Schlemmer]

The quick solution is if you're still in the same terminal you 
backgrounded "pine" in simply type: fg<RETURN>

If you're running through an xterm and have forgotten which session you 
backgrounded "pine" in you can do the following:

1) Run "ps" and under the TTY column note what "pts" "pine" is 
associated with.

2) For each xterm you have open, type "tty" at the shell prompt which 
displays the "pts" device your xterm is associated with. Once you get 
the same "pts" device that pine is associated with you can then type: 
"fg<RETURN>" to bring "pine" to the foreground.
