Subject: Solution - SGI Cut & Paste funkiness

Under Irix (and maybe other OS') cutting and pasting with the mouse causes
pine to go justify crazy, and you end up with one big brick of text.  This
is because newlines are pasted as ^J characters, which Pine uses as the
Justify command.

So, I've made a few changes here and there to a copy of the source for
3.95, changing the ^J for Justify to ^\, which seems like just about the
only control character not used for something or other.  Also, the ^J
character now inserts a new line, so pasting works the way it should.  The
help text in Pine and Pico is also changed throughout to indicate the
changed key (I didn't look into changing the man pages or anything in doc/
though). 
	Would anybody be interested in this version of the source?  The
only problem is that I seem to be inept at making a patch file using diff.
If someone can give me a clue I'll post the patch to this group - it
should be pretty tiny.  Email will get to me fastest.  :)
