hi,

i use a Mac (actually a clone, but the same problem happened on my old
mac). 

i telnet to my ISP and use pine. 

the problem that i run into constantly is that if i reply to a message and
include the original text in the message the message that i type types
over the included message (instead of shifting it down a line when i hit
return the cursor moves into the message. )

i asked everyone at the ISP about this problem but no one had an answer. 

is there any way to fix this ? 

thanks

john

That is really strange... Have you set you Mac Telnet program
properly?

I've used Nifty Telnet for Macintosh and log onto a Unix
box and use Pine all the time w/o problems...

I don't know about your telnet client, but I've seen similar problems on 
dial-ups using Z-term.  In that case, the screen size didn't match the 
default screen size in pine.  With the version of Z-term my user had, 
screen size was set using the adjustment bars.

My first guess is that you are one line off.

Yes, you need to set your terminal window to be 80 x 25. (stretch
the window up to the edge of 81 x 26 and then back off a bit
until you get 80 x 25.... that's a little trick I learned...
