Could someone tell me why my return key acts like a control J.		
When I try to create a new paragraph (as such) I must press my down arrow	
then my space bar then my down arrow to create same.		If I dare 
hit the return key. . . . justification of everything.  argh!		
Thanks for your time.		Clyde

Hmm...looks like your return key is not mapped right.

stty icrnl

Type that at the prompt and restart Pine and go into Compose mode. See if it
interprets return as ^j.

The man page on stty will give you more information about the settings.
