Check the terminal emulation settings.  Some terminal emulations
assign a special meaning to ctrl-X.

Try sending ESC ESC X instead of ctrl-X

Can't think of any othe rsuggestions at the mo.

When he enters control-X to send a message that he composes, then the screen
just freezes and no message is sent.  If he enters control-C at this point,
then he is booted out of Pine and back to an OpenVMS prompt.

Any ideas as to what is wrong?  Thanks, in advance, for your comments.
