37Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather
38than just copying Pico's look and feel,

122Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases.
123Mainly, this will happen if Nano recieves a SIGHUP or runs out of
124memory, when it will write the buffer into a file named &quot;nano.save&quot; if the
125buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a &quot;.save&quot; suffix to the
126current finename. Nano will <B>not</B> write this file if a previous one
127exists in the current directory.
