If I used PINE I guess I could tell you.  Sorry.  I use elm.
My only suggestion is that maybe Smartcom sees something from pine
that causes this?  Or smartcom turns on a print log with "Y"?

You can probably get the same results using a print log in minicom.  I
don't remember if it has one, but I think it does.  Just turn it on
and hit Y in pine.  Kind of cheesy solution, but it should work.

: 2.  How do I change virtual screens when I am in Xwindows. Neither Alt-F2
: or Shift-Alt-F2 or Alt-SysRq, F2 works.
Try ctrl-alt-+  That is what changes me from 640x480 -> 800x600
