   I think there's some confusion about what editor you're actually using. The   
   internal line editor (not a full screen editor) displays the following banner   
   when entering a message:   
      
   Enter message now (33000 lines max). Type /? on a new line for menu.   
   ----+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--   
      
   If you're not seeing that, then you're not using the internal line editor, but   
   rather a different editor. The internal line editor supports /? and /S   
   commands.   
      
   fseditor.js displays "FSeditor" on the bottom line of the terminal when   
   entering/editing a message and does *not* support /? or /S commands (it uses   
   Ctrl-key combinations for these fucctions).

   The question is: using what editor? Not all editor recognize /? as a valid   
   command. I don't think the terminal used makes any difference.
