Hi,

	I'm not a MACer....and I'm sure this has been answered before but
I did not commit the answer to memory.

	A friend in Singapore is having trouble with pine on an HP machine
to which he is connecting via NCSA's Telnet.

	He states:

I have a few problems with the HP system. the most annoying is
that fact that <CTRL> C does not cancel a message in pine or
end a man session, but hangs my telnet window. The message I
get is process interupted.

	So, the answer is????

	Thanks,

		Ed

NCSA Telnet already assigns functions to the ^C,^S and ^Z 
keys.  Fortunately you can change that yourself.  Go up to the Session 
menu and choose "setup keys"  Erase what's in them, or choose others.  
Now ^C should work, as it now gets to use the function that unix assigns 
to it.

Hope this works.

Good advice.  This probably doesn't need to be said, but that change is
not permanent (i.e., you'd have to do that every time you open a session). 
Fortunately, you can the "Save Set" command to save that configuration to
a "telnet set" (which you should then use in the future to invoke your
session).

If you use Telnet 2.6, under Edit -> Preferences -> Sessions you can change
those keys so that they become PERMANENT for that particular session....
