I tried to tell you about this problem before but you just said that it
was a bug in the software I was using. I'm not sure if this is the same
problem the other person was referring to though.

In Pine or Pico when editing a line by inserting new characters into the
line, the line does not get redraw properly.

For example, if I have a line like this:

hllo

And then try to insert a e to make it look like this:

hello

I end up with a line looking like this:

helo

(In other words the e that I typed over-wrote the l, instead of being
inserted.)

But when I press control-L, it looks as it should:

hello

Try it out and you'll see what I mean.

I do not know whether this affects other programs.
