Subject: Loss of ^^ capability

I hope this is not an old, many times-answered question, but when I switched to Telnet 
2.6.1 JB16, I lost the ability to use the ^^ sequence to mark text in Pico.  I don't know 
what mapping problems are going on, but I would like to get that capability back.  All I get 
now is a "6" when I try it.

David--

Go back to whereever you downloaded Telnet from.  In that same directory,
there should be a "kchr" resource you need to download.  After downloading
it (it's very small), drag it onto your System FILE (not just the System
Folder).  Then go to the Control Panels, open up the Keyboards panel, and
choose the new kchr.  That's all you need to do.  (You may have to restart
the Mac, but you may not.) 

This is all due to a tiny bug in the kchr that comes with the System.  The
new kchr simply compensates for it.

If you can't find the kchr, let me know and I'll email it to you; it's
only a few K.

David,
	Here is something to try; when using pine via my modem at home, 
I must press the <esc> key, then the Ctrl-^ to get mark to work.  Maybe 
it will help you.
