I see that Pico was addressed a while back for the 770 and the n800. Would anyone know if it works (nano) for the latest OS?
I downloaded VIM which works great, but I was never very good at using it. If I had the choice, I would just use pico, short learning curve and I do not program. I wish I had programming talent though.
Thats just my two cents,
BTW, I used to love pico and hate vi, I can't say that its now the reverse, but I have not used pico in many years.

Since I am not in school or anything, I suppose that I could delay the atrophy of my brain and learn vim. I found tutorials so I understand that there are modes now. I just could not understand how to use the commands since they added to the text.
Thanks for the advice.

Nano works fine in os2008 for me too. I use it instead of vi, because I don't have to memorize commands or use a cheat sheet. And I don't need to use a command line editor enough to bother with that.

I started using joe in Slackware 1.something, and I'm stuck on it now. I think it's available in the elkins.org repository.

Hmmm. With 2008 came osso-xterm. I added open-ssh client, but in two tries, one with and without open-ssh, there was an error installing. Something about incompatibility. Am I installing the wrong thing? Is xterm/ssh one program or two.
Many thanks.

p.s. I am getting the hang of vim.
