Subject: Cutting text using NCSA telnet (Mac)

We are using NCSA Telnet 2.6 for the Mac to login to sunos and solaris
servers to access pine.  When Cntl-^ is pressed, the number 6 appears on
the screen, we don't get the "Mark Text" message.  When I access pine
through rlogin on a Sun workstaion the Cntl-^ key sequence works great. 

Does anyone know how to get the Cntl-^ key sequence to be recognized as 
Mark Text by pine?  or should I be sending this message to NCSA?

Thank you for your time.

Thr problem lies not with Pine, but with the configuration of your Mac 
and NCSA Telnet.  If I recall correctly you will probably find a "fixed 
controls" ("fc") keyboard file included with NCSA Telnet.  If you install 
this in your System file and select it using the "Keyboard" control panel 
you will then be able to type the more obscure control sequences properly.

Having done this you will find that Ctrl/Shift/6 generates the required 
Ctrl/^ just fine.  (^ is Shift/6)
