As tin betas go, 4/24/97 is quite out of date--I used the 7/31/97 beta (a rather nice one) and September's offerings include 9/11, 9/23, and 9/30. These I got from the ports collection, but there's also a 10/18 I haven't tried. With the first two September betas the arrow keys quite functioning after one did something like posting or following up (but only when dialing in, not from the console). With 9/30, that doesn't seem to happen. I tend to think that tin is a little flakey, and what's not working probably has more to do with it than with a FreeBSD kernel or whatever. Try the 9/30 beta. Some of the people working on tin pay attention to posts on news.software.readers, but they're really only interested in the most recent version. Annelisehome | help
