Had a user indicate they could not figure out how to exit editor.
Went to user configuration, and selected No for external editor.
When trying to enter /? there was no response
E-mail (User name or number): amr
Just went to next line (tried to cut-n-paste capture but didn't work above).
The /s command did work, but /? did not result in expected help menu.

Maybe you were in raw I/O mode at the time? --

How would I determine this ?
I was connected via SyncTerm I believe, if
not it was ftelnet. I'll repeat the action i both.
I enter text on first line , and /? on second line in either syncterm or ftelnet connected to my bbs. toolazy.synchro.net:2323 and it returns to next line without help displayed.
I type /s on 3rd line and it saves message successfully.

Hitting Ctrl-Z (while not in an editor), toggles raw I/O mode. When entering > Raw message input (2673000 bytes max). Ctrl-Z to save, Ctrl-C to abort.

I doubt the terminal is a factor.

Re: /? not working in non-external editorTry again. I restarted it and hopefully daemon will not die. Wasn't able to get it working systemd yet.
