Charles:

You're right, and I'm wrong--mostly. 

I was indeed not using nano. Seems the "alternate-editor implicitly" must be checked in order for the editor value to be honored. And, that does mean no
arrowing up to the header. Groan.

However, according to Pine help, pico and the pine composer are, supposedly, one and the same. Here's what they say:

"Editor specifies the program invoked by ^_ in the Composer. This is normally an alternative to Pine's internal composer (Pico). You could use this
setting to specify an alternate editor to use occasionally or if you have a favorite editor and want to use it all the time (see the
"enable-alternate-editor-implicitly" setting)."

Sheesh. Egg on my face twice in one week.
