Re: the PC keyboard support:

My users care coming in via VT100 and 220 emulation from PCs.  I do not
want to have everybody remap their keys in their comm programs.  Instead, I
want to set up their login/pine/pico to accept certain PC keys such as: 
allow the"Delete" key to work as a "Delete the character I'm on" key;
allow the "End" key to jump to the end of the line;
allow the "Home" key to go to the beginning of the line;
allow "Page Up/Down" to work as expected;
allow "Ctrl-Arrow-Left/Right" to jump a word at a time in the appropriate
direction;
allow "Ctrl-Arrow-Up/Down" to jump back a paragraph or up a paragraph. 

Re: the RICHER HEADER:
Is there any way I can include the Return-Receipt-To: in the header when
my users hit ^R???

Thanks,
John E. Daum

Hello,

At present there's no way to remap keys in Pine/Pico short of modifying the
source code. Worse than that, as far as I know, most comm program handle most
of the keys you mentioned in a different way if at all. The comm program has
to send out some escape sequence for those keys since those keys don't have
an ASCII representation.  As far as I know there's not standard or even any
common practice for doing this.  If everyone of your clients is using the
same comm program and does send some escape sequence for these keys, then you
could hack the source and solve this problem.  Please pardon me if I've
misunderstood you and stated the obvious.
