Is it possible to map keys in pine?
I hate to use curser keys to move around and cntr-c to quit 
out of something. cntr-c really gets me. Why on earth 
I should hit 2 keys to quit. 

I love vi-bindings and like to use j-k and esc instead..

From a quick glance at pico (that's what we're talking about here, not
pine), I think the answer is "no".

Well, you can always hit the Big Red to quit...

Luvly... Try using vi as an editor in pine, then:

	enable-alternate-editor-implicitly,
	enable-alternate-editor-cmd,
                
	# Specifies the program invoked by ^_ in the Composer,
	# or the "enable-alternate-editor-implicitly" feature.
	editor=vi

Cheers,
Robin
