46<B>nano</B> was originally known as TIP (TIP Isn't Pico). It is a small,
47free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor
48included in the non-free Pine package. Rather than just copying Pico's
49look and feel,
50<B>nano</B>
51
52also implements some missing (or disabled by
53default) features in Pico, such as &quot;search and replace&quot; and &quot;goto line
54number&quot;.
