Subject: Pico Question.

I noticed that when I accidentally hit Ctrl-X Ctrl-S (a'la Emacs) trying
to save file, the whole thing gets hung and I usually end up having to
kill _both_ pico and shell processes. What can I do about it:  is it a bug
or is there something wrong with me?

I'll bet that the ^S is setting the scroll-lock.  The next time it
happens, type ^Q to turn it off.

Eugene, 

Try pressing Ctrl-Q after the Ctrl-S...

Did you try typing ^Q after the ^S?
