   Pine
  
      Program for Internet News & Email.   A tool for reading,
      sending, and managing electronic messages.   It was designed
      specifically with novice computer users in mind, but can be
      tailored to accommodate the needs of "power users" as well.
      Pine uses {Internet} message {protocol}s (e.g. {RFC 822},
      {SMTP}, {MIME}, {IMAP}, {NNTP}) and runs under {Unix} and
      {MS-DOS}.
  
      The guiding principles for Pine's user-interface were: careful
      limitation of features, one-character mnemonic commands,
      always-present command menus, immediate user feedback, and
      high tolerance for user mistakes.   It is intended that Pine
      can be learned by exploration rather than reading manuals.
      Feedback from the {University of Washington} community and a
      growing number of {Internet} sites has been encouraging.
  
      Pine's message composition editor, {Pico}, is also available
      as a separate stand-alone program.   Pico is a very simple and
      easy-to-use {text editor} offering paragraph justification,
      cut/paste, and a spelling checker.
  
      Pine features on-line help; a message index showing a message
      summary which includes the status, sender, size, date and
      subject of messages; commands to view and process messages; a
      message composer with easy-to-use editor and spelling checker;
      an address book for saving long complex addresses and personal
      distribution lists under a nickname; message attachments via
      {Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions}; {folder} management
      commands for creating, deleting, listing, or renaming message
      folders; access to remote message folders and archives via the
      {Interactive Mail Access Protocol} as defined in {RFC 1176};
      access to {Usenet} news via {NNTP} or {IMAP}.
  
      Pine, {Pico} and {UW}'s {IMAP} {server} are copyrighted but
      freely available.
  
      {Unix} Pine runs on {Ultrix}, {AIX}, {SunOS}, {SVR4} and
      {PTX}.   PC-Pine is available for {Packet Driver}, {Novell
      LWP}, {FTP PC/TCP} and {Sun} {PC/NFS}.   A {Microsoft
      Windows}/{WinSock} version is planned, as are extensions for
      off-line use.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Pan
      a vessel of metal or earthenware used in culinary operations; a
      cooking-pan or frying-pan frequently referred to in the Old
      Testament (Lev. 2:5; 6:21; Num. 11:8; 1 Sam. 2:14, etc.).
     
         The "ash-pans" mentioned in Ex. 27:3 were made of copper, and
      were used in connection with the altar of burnt-offering. The
      "iron pan" mentioned in Ezek. 4:3 (marg., "flat plate " or
      "slice") was probably a mere plate of iron used for baking. The
      "fire-pans" of Ex. 27:3 were fire-shovels used for taking up
      coals. The same Hebrew word is rendered "snuff-dishes" (25:38;
      37:23) and "censers" (Lev. 10:1; 16:12; Num. 4:14, etc.). These
      were probably simply metal vessels employed for carrying burning
      embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense.
     
         The "frying-pan" mentioned in Lev. 2:7; 7:9 was a pot for
      boiling.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Penny
      (Gr. denarion), a silver coin of the value of about 7 1/2d. or
      8d. of our present money. It is thus rendered in the New
      Testament, and is more frequently mentioned than any other coin
      (Matt. 18:28; 20:2, 9, 13; Mark 6:37; 14:5, etc.). It was the
      daily pay of a Roman soldier in the time of Christ. In the reign
      of Edward III. an English penny was a labourer's day's wages.
      This was the "tribute money" with reference to which our Lord
      said, "Whose image and superscription is this?" When they
      answered, "Caesar's," he replied, "Render therefore to Caesar
      the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are
      God's" (Matt. 22:19; Mark 12:15).
