I was just wondering, How can i move my cursor word by word when 
composing a mail message? I think the editor that pine uses is pico im 
not sure ( It resembles it a whole lot)
	Im tired of looking like a fool try to get from part of a sentece 
to the next, tapping that button like a madman.
	Incedently in case anyone else wants to know..

	to get to the end of the sentence tpye
		ctrl-e
	to get to the beggining of the sentence type 
		ctrl-a
much like most editors

							thanks

You can use Ctrl-SPACE to move forward a word. I don't know how to go
backwards though.
