Subject: Snipping with Pine

I'm a part of a mailing list, and when I'm replying to several posts at 
the same time, I'd like to be able to "snip" parts of the mailing list 
(which I receive in digest form) so my reply won't be too long. I've been 
told by other members of this mailing list that this is possible with 
Pine, and I was wondering how. Please help!!!

: Hit ctrl-K to delete a line.

And if you want to cut many lines of text, use Ctrl-^ to select text then 
use Ctrl-K to delete.

	I have trouble with the ctrl-^ command whenever I log into my
Unix account from a Mac and use pine.  I don't try to figure out what's
wrong any more...what's wrong with Mac's can't be fixed by me.  I don't 
know if this helps explain your problem or not...simply put, it could be a
terminal emulation problem

On our system ctrl-^ is used for network commands, so, to use ctrl-^ in 
pico, I have to hit it twice.

Maybe that will work in your case.

Only my guess, you're hitting ctrl+6 not ctrl+^ (which is ctrl+shift+6)?

        It's easy to check. If you hit ctrl+^, you should get a little
    reverse video box saying "mark set." *Then you move your cursor* 
    to the other end of what you want to cut, and _then_ hit ^K.
