Subject: ^L on a NeXT

I'm running Pine 3.88 under NeXTSTEP 3.0 on a NeXTstation.

The only problem I've encountered is in fetching new mail before Pine does it's  
regular update every 2.5 minutes.  The documentation says that this can be done  
by either 

(a) going to the bottom of the index and hitting N five times (this works) or
(b) using CONTROL-L.

Well, ^L DOES refresh the screen, as expected, but it doesn't update the index.

Has anyone had any experience with this before?  

Can you help me get ^L to work as advertised?

By the way, here are my stty settings...

fermat> stty everything
new tty, speed 9600 baud, 24 rows, 80 columns
even odd -raw -nl echo -lcase -tandem -tabs -cbreak 

crt: (crtbs crterase crtkill ctlecho) -tostop 

-eucbksp -flusho -mdmbuf -litout pass8 -nohang 

pass8out pendin decctlq -noflsh -extproc
erase  kill   werase rprnt  flush  lnext  susp   intr   quit   stop   eof
^?     ^U     ^W     ^R     ^F     ^V     ^Z/^Y  ^C     ^\     ^S/^Q  ^D     

Thanks in advance

Jim

Feature (b) was introduced in version 3.90.  Upgrade, and you'll have
it.
