Subject: Must hack pine to change ^X... Where?

Don't ask why, but I spend a great deal of time reading mail through
a connection over which I cannot send a ^X.  I would like to start using
pine, however I would also like to continue to be able to "send" mail ;)

I've been looking through the source and I can't seem to find where the
keys for that area are mapped.

Can anyone give me a hint as to what part of the source to look at?
(or any other fix to my problem)

Thanks,
Pat

MAYBE the pine version using function keys would be useful (I read it 
does exist---consult the pine manual). I think there will surely be a 
function key equivalent of ^X in it.

Wish you'll be successful.

Hi,  I used to have the same problem.  it all depends on your connection 
to the machine running pine (in my opinion).  for example, I was dialing 
into a Xyplex terminal server then telnet'ing to my Unix box.  I had to 
give the following commands at the Xyplex end before I telnet'ed over to 
the Unix workstation:

Xyplex> set port ansi
Xyplex> set telnet type signal request disabled

or something like that.  apparently the Ctrl-X and some others were being 
stripped out by the Xyplex until I issued those "set" commands.  use the 
"help" feature on the Xyplex to get more info on that second set command 
since I'm not exactly sure how it goes.

As an alternative, you can use "ESC ESC x" as an alternative to ^X...

You could start pine with "pine -k" and then
use the [F3] key to send mail.
