To be quite short with you, there isn't a way.  I've run into the same problems
that you are running into, and I tried the ^Y route, and the DEL/ENTRY route
but then I finally gave up.

I know this, though, if there were a command, it would have to be in MAIL
because I know that mail does something similar to a PRINT/HOLD.
