Subject: Losing prompt message in Windows Telnet

My mother is using a windows/winsock telnet session with Pine over SLIP,
when she replies to mail or composes a message, while there is postponed
mail, she loses the prompt messages. 

These are the prompts that ask if she wants to include the original
message, in the first case, and if she wants to continue the postponed
message, in the second. All that she sees is a YES and [NO] prompt, the
cursor is flashing at about column 60 on the message line which is the
same colour as the compose area.

Very confusing for someone just learning Pine.

I've tried setting Assume slow link (she's connecting with a 9600 baud 
modem) but this made no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
David.

David,
We've heard one report of this that was fixed by switching to a different
Windows telnet program, but I don't know the specific cause of the
problem.
