Subj : pico display

On both the Solaris and Ubuntu builds, my pico external editor behaved
differently (better) than on FreeBSD.  The commandline is the same (default). 
Specifically, when I insert text in the middle of a paragraph, pico doesn't
"push" the text ahead of where I'm inserting, but instead it appears to
overwrite it (in a "broken" kind of way).  I have to execute ^G or something
that gets me off the editing screen, and when I return to the editor all the
original text is still there.  On the other systems, inserting pushed the
remaining text forward as you'd normally expect.

I thought it might be a TERM or termcap issue, but I believe that's all the
same.  Nothing in the pico document seems like the "fix" for this.  Any
thoughts on what it might be?
