   Thanks for testing things on my BBS. But I actually had not encountered, it   
   defaulting to fseditor. I'll try  and create a new account and see if I   
   have that issue.   
      
   In my sysop account, I have changed to non-external editor and it will not    
   accept /? like 80% of the time, but 100% will accept /s on a blank line.   
      
   I've tested the /? with syncterm and ftelnet
