When entering a       message in raw I/O mode, you get an introduction text like this:        Raw message input (2673000 bytes max). Ctrl-Z to save, Ctrl-C to abort.               > I was connected via SyncTerm I believe, if        > not it was ftelnet. I'll repeat the action i both.              I doubt the terminal is a factor.               > I enter text on first line , and /? on second line in either syncterm or        > ftelnet connected to my bbs. toolazy.synchro.net:2323 and it returns to next        > line without help displayed.        > I type /s on 3rd line and it saves message successfully.              Maybe you weren't actually using the internal line editor.
