Subject: ASCII Transfer and Pico

Hi Pico and Pine users,
  I have been having problems with ASCII transfer (using a
terminal program such as Telix) and Pico. Whenever I transfer
an ASCII message into Pico, all the lines are jammed into 1
single line and Pico continually tries to "justify" the
message.
  Any one has the same experience?
  I tried transferring the ASCII message into Vi and the UNIX
prompt and there was no problem. Thus I think it isn't a
problem of CR/LF.
  The version of Pico I'm using is 2.5.
  I'll appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

J. Tse

If you are having problems with line wrapping, you can turn it off with
the -w flag when you start pico.

Notwithstanding your vi test, I think this is a problem with CR/LF...
(Not all programs operate with the same terminal driver modes.)

Try looking for a config option on your terminal program that permits
CRs to be sent without turning them into CR/LFs.
