Subject: Editing with Pine/Pico

I often access my mail from home by using Telnet 2.6 (Macintosh) to a 
campus UNIX machine.  I run Pine 3.89 to access my campus IMAP server and 
get my mail.

My question is this:  I haven't been able to use the "mark" feature in 
the Pine email editor (and Pico file editor) on my Macintosh.  When I use 
non-Mac machines on campus, if I type ctrl-^ there is no problem.  When I 
try to do the same thing from my Mac at home, I get the character "6".

Any insights out there?  Sorry if this is a FAQ; my Usenet site just 
started receiving this group 3 days ago.

Try ^-SHIFT-6

Apparently Telnet 2.6 intercepts the ctrl-^ character :(

To work around this, try 'ESC ESC ^'

Thanks, Andrew...dropping the keyboard layout file into my System file did 
the trick.  For those out there in netland who need to know, the file 
name (supplied with Telnet 2.6 - Mac) is:

U.S. - Fixed Controls
