Subject: ^Z in PICO

Help... is there any way to "activate" ^Z in Pico (or any other key 
combination that would temporarily stop pico, allowing me to resume with fg)
(no problem with pine, unless... I'm editing mail with pico, in which 
case I need to use ^O -postpone- and then ^Z... but if  I'm using pico as 
an editor in my shell or in tin... I couldn't find a way to do that...)

btw my shell is tcsh... (and as long I don't see any .picorc probably I 
will need to edit my .login or my .cshrc)

Thanks
Shalom

Start pico with the "-z" command line option....

Just set up an alias like:

 alias pico 'pico -z'

Simple enough. And of course, as always, RTFM!!
