Switch on the "use-alternate-editor" option, and put vi in the slot for
"alternate-editor" down the bottom of the config screen? :)

I can't tell you how much I'd love to give up trying to figure out all
these damn control-this-and-that commands. I mean control-f to move right? Come on!, I thought this was to move down a full screen! Control-b to move left.

Give me a break, I'm tired of learning non-portable editing commands for
every unix client I want to use. 

Give us Vi! 

Pine Dev. People???

I'm talking about these, not the composer's editor. If I had do use Pico
for every aspect of Pine, I wouldn't be using it at all.
