Another option is to use Esc Esc C instead of Ctrl-C.  I tried to make
the changes in Telnet but can't remember if they worked.

: This is a problem in NCSA Telnet. The solution is to go to Session->Setup
: Keys and then delete out the key assignment in the three boxes. Then Save
: Set (under the file menu). Then, when your start up Telnet from the saved
: Set file, the key assignments you have made will stick.

This is a Mac-Telnet Problem, not a PINE problem. I don't know exactly, 
but there are options in NCSA Telnet where you can set the "Break-Key". 
If I remember right, you can set this to nothing.

James,

Find Set Up keys and change the defaults. The "problem" is that Ctrl-C,
Ctrl-S anmd Ctrl-Q are set to be normal UNIX kinds of keys, Interupt,
Suspend and Resume. 

In 2.7b4 the key settings are session specific and can be assigned to a
terminal setting that the end user can use when the connect to use Pine.
It has been a long time since I have used 2.6, I am pretty sure the same
holds true there.

I had the same problem.  What I did was go into Edit/Preferences/Sessions
and change the interrupt character on each session from control/C to
control/B.

Now I don't have the problem any more.
