Subject: Control-C

When I want to cancel a message after composing it, i.e., after having 
pressed ctrl-X to send, it seems that ctrl-C won't work to cancel.  I'm 
working on a Macintosh Powerbook 100, using NCSA Telnet over a SLIP 
connection.

Thanks in advance,

Hi:  ^C (control+c) cancels things you are composing, not things you have
already ^X (control+x) sent.  MacFruits, PC's, Amigas, makes no matter.
Once you put a letter in the mailbox, it's gone unless you know the
postmaster (same with email).  UseNet postings can be 'cancelled' sorta
kinda maybe, but your cancell message has to catch up with the post
message.  Hope that helps, if not repost or email me.  BYE.

Neal,

Go into Edit-Preferences-Session (this is with NCSA Telnet 2.7b -
technically a beta version, but very stable: we have it in wide spread
prodcution use) and change the values for the telnet interrupt key, just
backspace over the definition. By default it is set for to be ^C which
Pine wants to use for cancel.

When ^C doesn't want to work, try hitting ESC-ESC-C (ESC key twice followed
by C)... seems to work more consistently.
