I can't find any info on this and it's royally pissing me off :)

I keep hitting CTRL+S when in pico and it seems to freeze the
entire connection and I can't do anythign excep sever my telnet connection.

Can someone stop this madness? How could I disable the CTRL+S key in pico?
'm so used to CTRL+S from Windows to save files... I'm not use d to using CTRL+O in pico.

IIRC a ^s is an xoff command, the next time that happens try a ^w (xon
IIRC) and see if that unfreezes it.

Cheers, Gene

It's not a pico thing. If you type ctrl+s at the prompt the same happens.
Ctrl-s "locks" the console. Type CTRL+Q to unlock it.

Correct.

In pine there is a setup option "preserve-start-stop-characters".
there is also a help description for this if you use the ''?' key.

CTRL S is defined in the ascii code to be "XOFF" which stops
transmission. ctrl Q is XON which restarts it.
MS keeps using things which had been defined for many years to carry out
different operations.

Thank god I finally found answer. So basically CTRL-Q will undo what CTRL-S
does?

: CTRL S is defined in the ascii code to be "XOFF" which stops
: transmission. ctrl Q is XON which restarts it.
