Pine on shell.onid.oregonstate.edu is already configured to use the OSU Online Directory. Follow these steps to use the OSU Online Directory:

  1. Run pine.
  2. Compose a message by pressing C.
  3. Move your cursor to one of the email address fields (To:, Cc:, etc).
  4. Press ^T (To AddrBk).
  5. Highlight OSU Online Directory and press enter.
  6. Type in a string to search for, such as a last name or first name, and press enter. If your search is too generic (for example, you searched for "smith"), Pine will show you the first 200 matches and warn you that the size limit was exceeded.
