Pico
 
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.

I would really suggest learning vi, but thats just me. I literally spent 20 minutes one day making a cheat sheet for vi, and I never looked back, soon I did not need the cheat sheet and I could just edit files. vi will always be there, might as well learn to use it :D

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 is working fine on os2008 for me.

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.

Kathleen

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

We need some sort of detailed log to say for certain. Either from apt-get or the Application Manager.

How did you install Nano under OS2008? I tried it on maemo.org but got no results for nano.. :confused:
