Hi, Willie!
As you can tell, I am branching out into more echos.

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.
