So yeah, there was a pretty large change in versions between the two LTS
releases.  I'll have to look into how to bind ^Z directly to suspend.  I've
been using nano/pico since I started using Pine back in the early 90s,
presumably sometime after it went public in 1992...or about 2 decades now.
I don't really feel like relearning that or really the extra two keystrokes.

Thanks for the help.
