Subject: Changing keystroke for commands

I am using Pine by telnet from a PC. I can't send ^^ or ^_ (and I've tried
using alt-keypad-number-number-number ... doesn't work with this telnet
program) to mark in Pico or engage the alternate editor (vi).

Is there anything I can do to change the keys for functions in Pine?

(Please e-mail copies of replies ... our newsfeed is weird.)

You can use "ESC ESC ^" and "ESC ESC _" for ^^ and ^_...

Thank you all for your answers. And the winner is ...

... hit <ESC> twice, then the character!

(i.e. <ESC> <ESC> _ or <ESC> <ESC> ^ )

The second was to reconfigure the telnet program, which isn't feasible
(campus network).

Love this newsgroup ...
