Subject: PICO 2.5

To whom it may concern:

I am testing PICO 2.5. I agree completely that it is an easy to use editor
for UNIX (as is PINE for news and mail). But I have the following problems:

1) The keybord blocks when I try to enter German umlauts into text. But if
   I load a text which contains already umlauts I can search and find them
   with ^w and delete them with ^d (so the keyboard does not block the
   input field for ^w when entering a German umlaut). What can be done for
   entering German umlauts into the text ? For recommendation of the product
   to our users this is a decisive point.

2) I hav no success with operations of selected text, that is to mark
   selected text at all. Is it Ctrl-caret or double caret ? 

Thank you for answering these questions,

Wolf Kammer

See if the following is of any help to you:

To see a list of all available language sets on gpu, type    
locale -a       at the gpu sustem prompt.  Should be one in there
for the German character set.

Modify .pinerc to include the proper ISO-nnnn-n string in the 
character-set       option.

Then put the following in the bottom of your .cshrc file:

setenv LANG xx_xx

ie      setend LANG Fr_CA

Then logout and log back in. Then either find an article in the desired 
language to display, or create a piece of mail to yourself and try to 
look at it.

>    selected text at all. Is it Ctrl-caret or double caret ? 

CTRL-CARET     ie     CTRL-SHIFT-6
