Hello Maurice,

Sure.  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.

I know.  You're on the Canuckistan side of the pond, not the European.

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
