Thanks for testing things on my BBS. But I actually had not encountered, it
defaulting to fseditor. I'll try  and create a new account and see if I
have that issue.

In my sysop account, I have changed to non-external editor and it will not 
accept /? like 80% of the time, but 100% will accept /s on a blank line.

I've tested the /? with syncterm and ftelnet
