I can't seem to get the ^^ feature to engage.  I've set the
"preserve-start-stop" items in my configuration setup, but I still have to
use ^K to delete line by line while my screen scrolls S-L-O-W-L-Y line by
line as it deletes.  Any ideas on why Ctrl-^ isn't working?

I'm hitting Ctrl-^ just like the command indicates.

Some communication s/w or h/w devices "swallow" certain control
characters.  As a workaround, try ESC ESC ^

While holding down the shift and control keys, hit the 6 key twice. You
should see a messge on the bottom of the screen saying "Mark Set".

a local escape sequence.  If it sees two in a row, it passes it through.

Try ctrl-shift-^, that may help.  Otherwise you will have to configure your 
terminal emulation program, ie the program you use to connect.

Cheers

The correct command is control+shift+6 (all 3 keys at the same time) ... 
if that doesn't work on your system try Esc Esc ^ (that's escape, then
escape again, then shift+6).  Either one of these only sets the beginning
mark, then you scroll down to where you want to end before hitting ^K
(control+k) to delete the blocked text (or whatever other command you want
to apply to the blocked text).  Hope this helps. BYE.
