I don't know what's going on but the versions of pilot that I've built
using GSO and HPP options to build don't react to keyboard inputs
correctly.  I get a list of files displayed on the screen in 2 columns.
So it looks OK, but any of the keys (except cursor keys) just cause the
inverse-video to move to the next entry.  For example, if I hit v it just
moves the highlight to the next entry.  If I press any cursor-moving key,
then it moves the highlight to the third entry after the one that is
currently highlighted.
