After reading mail with Pine (today and yesterday) I was told No conf. when
I typed bbs or even bbs agora. I then typed q, bbs (same message) and then
j agora. Is this a new feature or did I do something odd?

Also before getting into bbs 'I don't understand mart. Type HELP for help.'
(This was before the (no conf) appeared onscreen. Confusing and possibly
other people are completely lost.

My twit filter is no longer working now. I checked .cfonce and polytarp is
still listed there. I would suspect my own fault except for the no conf
problem at the same time. Or is some other file of mine messed up too?

Might I have messed up .cfonce when I was removing all the redundant copies
of a twit filter? Anyone want to look at it for me, please?

Re #146: Yes, you need to fix your .cfonce, where you apparently got some
inappropriate line-wrapping when you edited it. The following two lines
should be just one:
# responses entered by users: jp2 polytarp realpoly gizmo sarkhel loperbd
mart
The fact that "mart" is by itself on a line explains the message about it.
The following two lines should also be one:
define pager "twit jp2 polytarp realpoly gizmo sarkhel loperbd mart | less
-dE -P 'Press Spacebar for more, or q to quit'

(The first of those pairs is just a comment, but for the second you need (in
joining them) a blank between "less" and "-dE".)

Thanks, this explains the 'I don't understand mart'. It still does not
explain why my twit filter is not eliminating tels from people on the twit
list.

I tried to edit .cfonce with pico. I put things on one line but pico wraps
them onto two. Can I disable line wrap with pico? Do I need to learn vi to
fix .cfonce? I could put a # in front of mart but that does not fix the
problem o f the line starting with -dE.

I'm not a pico user, so I don't know if linewrap can be disabled.
Re #150: Twit lists in .cfonce control only what Picospan shows you.
They have nothing to do with tels. For that, you need to enable
a .nowrite file. See !man write.

To disable word-wrap in pico, use "pico -w -t". Well, probably you just
need the w, but I use both and it works.

-t is nice because it puts pico in 'tool' mode which is better for novice
users.

The change program which modified .cfonce (but said it was modifying .login)
also said it was changing write permissions for tel talk etc. Someone might
want to modify the change program. I will check out pico -w -t.

My .cfonce has been fixed with pico -w -t. What did the -t do? I was able
to remove the CR/LF or whatever it was that was breaking up one line into two.

I wonder if a quotation mark is also missing from that last line.

If so where should I restore it to? Everything seems to work anyway.

Probably at the very end of the line, as in the lines just before it.
In general, quotation marks come in pairs.

Re #159: Picospan is forgiving about a missing close-quote at the end
of a line.

I will refrain from fixing what works even if it is not perfect. I am afraid
of causing more problems by adding back the quotation mark.

I believe -t makes pico exit and save when you hit ^X, whereas without it
you get those two annoying prompts asking if you *really* want to save and
if you *really* want to exit.

When connecting with ssh, the screen clears itself after motd, doesn't
display the Last login or mail status, and starts the cleared screen
with the Erase info.
