I wrote yesterday that I find myself using ^arrow keys in pico...

I also find myself using PgUp to try to get to the top of the index 
screen, but Pine tells me that I am already on the first page. I think 
PageUp should take you to the top of the page in this case. Again this is 
fairly standard for DOS applications.

Oh and similarly for Page Down of course!

This is on the to-do list for one of the next few releases.  Thanks for 
the suggestion!

Thanks, David - I find Pico VERY useful as a stand-alone editor for 
installation scripts etc. One other feature I'd like to see is a 
write-to-file operation (reverse of ^R). It would be useful in Pine for 
folks to make/modify/maintain their signature files (I just modified mine 
today and had to go out of Pine to do so - if I'd been able to mark the 
block and write it out I wouldn't have had to).
