So yeah, there was a pretty large change in versions between the two LTS releases.  I'll have to look into how to bind ^Z directly to suspend.  I've been using nano/pico since I started using Pine back in the early 90s, presumably sometime after it went public in 1992...or about 2 decades now.  I don't really feel like relearning that or really the extra two keystrokes.

Thanks for the help.

Type in `nano -V` into your command line on each machine.
That will give you the versions of nano each machine has.
Then go to nano-editor.org/news.php and see what's changed between the versions.
It looks like the offending change has been clearly documented as happening in version 6.0

It suggests you manually 'bind' '^Z' to 'suspend' in 'all' menus if you preferred that behavior. See `man 5 nanorc` for information about this.

Hope this was helpful!
