I have the XON rec'd see preservr-etc message too, but it doesn't mess up 
the screen, but is bothersome.  What does cause this.  I looked at 
preserve-start-stop, but didn't see anything relevant.

Jim and Michael,
The "irrelevant" feature you mention is *intended* to fix exactly the 
problem you describe...  If it does not, please let us know.

The cause of recurring XON/XOFF messages is that either your communication
software or your modem or your site's modem or its terminal server is 
configured for "software flow control", by which Unix and Pine receive an 
XOFF when the PC/modem/whatever is about to have its communication buffer 
overrun, and an XON when it is safe to resume sending data.

That's fine, but you need to tell Pine about it via the
"preserve-start-stop-characters" feature, and be aware that when so
configured, if you ever inadvertently type control-S (XOFF), Pine will
then appear to freeze until you enter a control-Q (XON). 

This feature *currently* assumes that Unix has s/w flow control enabled 
before Pine starts... in 3.92 we'll remove that assumption, so that the 
feature will work regardless of the previous Unix tty settings.

I would like to send messages to multiple addressees with only the 
individual recipient's name showing on the "To" line.  Currently the 
whole list is shown. I would assume that this should be a relatively 
simple problem to solve but I can't seem to find the answer. I'd 
appreciate any help or direction in as non-technical terms as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Chris,

Place the Individual recipient's address on the to line as normal.
Press the control button and r  for rich headers.
Place the other addresses or nicknames in the bcc field (blind carbon copy).
Send the message as normal.

This should accomplish what you're looking for.
