Subject: Problem With Deleting Lines of Text

I have been trouble deleting lines of text in the Pico editor.  I tried
marking text with ^^ but ^K does not "Cut Text".  How is line deletion
done?

Jim,

Do you get any response when ^K is pressed?  If not you may have 
something intercepting it before it gets to Pine.  Try "ESC ESC k" as a 
work-around...

I tried it and it works.  
  Works: 1) Mark text: ^^
         2) Select text: arrow keys
         3) ESC ESC k

  Does not work: 1) & 2) same as before
         3) ^K

I wouldn't be surprised if something is intercepting characters.  Here's my
setup:
