[Pan-users] copy/paste from cat/more to Pan post format errors

[David Chmelik]

I posted to Usenet alt.comics,alt.comics.fandom,rec.arts.comics.misc 
recently.

I edited my post in text editor because after I saved draft in Pan, there 
seemed no way to reopen that worked.

Maybe text editor crashed but I ended up using cat & more in shell to 
view post then copied & pasted in the several sections favourite comic 
books, artists/writers.

I don't know if the problem was something in copying & pasting (shell to 
XFCE clipboard did) or Pan, but each section's first line's newline was 
removed, and some sections had several newlines removed.

Is it perhaps a shell problem if you process much text, it's not always 
responsive so special/control characters don't always go through?  I 
notice this sort of thing in telnet, rsh, ssh, you might have to press  
<DEL> or <BKSP> or arrow keys several or even many times but only a few 
will get through, or you might be waiting a long time, retype some words/
sections but sometimes only a second or third instance will go through... 
sometimes it takes a few minutes to type something pretty short if 
connection is slow...
