[wplug] Pine restricted mode

[Scott F. Kiesling]

Thanks Brandon, I do have operating-dir defined. BUT I want to write to a 
subdirectory of that directory.

>From the .pinerc comments for operating-dir:

# For example, on Unix ~/work confines the
# user to the subtree beginning with their work subdirectory.

I never save anything to / or /usr and so on, so I thought I would save 
myself some typing and define the operating-dir. I'll just go back to 
doing it that way for now.
