Hi, Willie!
As you can tell, I am branching out into more echos.
WW> While I'm here,
anybody know off the top of their heads the
WW> differences in PINE.MAC and VT100.MAC? I do use the Pine editor
WW> on my Internet provider's system, but frankly, I just haven't had
WW> the need to use anything other than the VT100 key definitions as
WW> I stated above. Of course, it isn't that I actually do that much
WW> editing of my messages, being more of the let it fly and suffer
WW> the consequences philosophy, but for sure, the arrow keys work
WW> fine, so I'm curious about what keys I should expect
WW> problems with if I ever decide to get fancy.
WW>
WW> Thanks...

The main difference that shows up is that the DEL key produces a ^d,
instead of ASCII 127. This is to accomodate Pine, which uses CTRL-D to
delete a character. I found out about this at the regular Unix prompt.
When I used the DEL key, it logged me out of the computer. Apparently,
on my machine, CTRL-D is the equivalent of typing "logout".
Someone might have already supplied this information. I'm sorry for
being behind in reading my mail, but there's so much of it! I'll talk to
you on BlinkLink.
