Subject: Pine is greedy

When you exit pine, it seems to suck up all of the keystrokes from the 
time you hit expunge-yes until the prompt returns... Is there any way for 
pine to not suck up these keystrokes, so I can start typing the next 
command while it is exitting?  I've noticed this problem with other 
(SunOS 4.1.something) programs... Is it a general UNIXism?

Matt,

I'm afraid it is a general Unixism when you reconfigure the terminal 
driver.  Pine does not do anything explicitly to suck up keystrokes.

Thanks for the report!
