Did anyone notice that the functions ^T <to address book> and ^T <Spell
Check> don't work? Is it just my account or is there a problem in this
edition of pine?

Knowledge to the problem is greatly appreciated.

It works fine here, so it is not a general problem with pine.

However, since it is the same character (^T) which doesn't work in
several situations, I suspect something is wrong with your terminal
program.

I had a similar problem once with a telnet program which insisted on
using ^O as the flushoutput character, so I couldn't postpone.
(I finally found out how to make a .telnetrc file which solved the
problem.)

Check the settings of your terminal program to see what characters it
uses for special purposes.

Greetings,
Ørjan.

Both cases could probably be addressed by pine's "fail-safe" alternate
escape sequences, in which a pair of Escape key presses replaces use of
the Ctrl key.  Thus, if ^T doesn't work, try Esc Esc t; if ^O doesn't
work try Esc Esc o.

Hope it helps,
