I don't have very high expectations about this, but I decided that trying it wouldn't hurt: I have a user with a "dumb" terminal (Visual smthg...) and it is connected without modem control (i.e. all I can do is Xon/Xoff flow control). I know it would be best to use hardware flow control, but I can't get that to work with the cable and terminal I have... :-( Now: Pine has something called preserve-start-stop-characters in .pinerc. Setting that will let it work correctly in that setup. However, I don't know how to tell pico to do the same (it doesn't care about .pinerc at all). The worse part is that I can't even hack it because most of what that user does is telnet to remote machines and use pico *there*. Is there any way to get pico to work in that setup??? TIA Nadav
