| <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2> |
| |
| This manual page documents briefly the |
| <B>nano</B> |
| |
| command. |
| <P> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <B>nano</B> was originally known as TIP (TIP Isn't Pico). It is a small, |
| free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor |
| included in the non-free Pine package. Rather than just copying Pico's |
| look and feel, |
| <B>nano</B> |
| |
| also implements some missing (or disabled by |
| default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "goto line |
| number". |
