Subject: Pico: justification?

I can't figure out how pico's justification works.
When quoting people I often need to enter blank lines between
or within paragraphs but hitting the return key often causes
pico to justify the paragraphs.
This might have something to do with the terminal emulation that
I'm using: NCSA Telnet for Mac.
Is there anyway I can prevent pico from "randomly" interpreting my 
return key as Ctrl-J.  Or, is there anyway to disable pico's 
justification altogether?

Thanks,
-vic

Looks like the keymappings/settings aren't set right on your mac. I use
NCSA Telnet/Mac 2.6, and never had this problem. Go under Setup Keys
and see if you can re-configure your keymappings.
