Subject: lacking ctrl :P

OK, this is perhaps an odd question, but anyways...

Pine uses ctrl-combinations alot (ctrl-x to send etc), but I sometimes
find myself in locations or devices that actually lacks ctrl-keys. (putty
on my P800, random obscure internet-cafes or libraries where ctrl might be
disabled to avoid ctrl-alt-del or something)

So my question is: Is there some alternative way of sending commands?

And if not; would it be possible to add one?

I imagine I am not the only one using vim as external editor and hence hit
escape every now and then when editing the header lines, so a vi-like mode
would be very welcome for me at least. :)

ESC ESC x is the same as CTRL-x and so on.
