Create an account (connect to bbs.outpostbbs.net port 2303) and drop me        a line to let me know you're here. I'll verify your account and then you can        connect via port 2202 for SSH.               MK> Errrr ... I am on the same side of the pond as you.

Also, also it can do        MK> utf8 but I think joe might be able to do that as well. It has been        MK> awhile since I've used joe.              I think joe is better being scripted than nano. MBSE uses a custom joe        configuration that nano (in my experience) would have a much more difficult        time with doing. However, few people, besides me, use the MBSE external        editor. MBSE does have a decent internal line editor if need be. What I        should do is write up a system bulletin with "just the keys that you need". I        think I have joe set up for WordStar emulation which I am familiar with.              joe does have its own internal help; hit CTRL-K H when in joe.              Later,       Sean              ...
