Subject: Using PICO editor

Since PICO is the editor part of pine, I thought I would ask here. 

We  have PICO 2.3 on OS/F1 and find the ^^ key combination to mark text 
does not work. I see the help message from time to time saying Ctrl-^ 
would work to mark text.

The only thing I get is a message that this is an unknown key.

Have you tried the "ESC ESC ^" work-around?  If that doesn't work, send
details of your configuration, exact messages, etc, to
[email-masked].
