Ughh! it looks like someone's emailer doesn't add quite the right 
end-of-line character for pico to handle it...

Any way.  If you want a dt-like utility for a serial console, try 
checking out a utility called screen.  It is somewhat similar to dt in 
that you can have multiple screens open at one time and switch between 
them using some key combination.  I used to use it occasionally when I 
only had modem access to Rice's unix system.  I'm not sure where you can 
get it, but the usual unix archives probably have a copy.

Later.
