I use nano, which is the same thing as pico, more or less. I wrote my first web pages using pico in a unix shell. I always thought it was a great editor. I use nano almost daily, even on my Windows machines. I just don't see the attaction to vi. I understand the need to know it, but the fundamentalist furvor that some people have for the program baffles me. - David --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of K.G.

(When I have to edit a file in my shell account, which is rare, I use pico... yes, I know that makes me a sissy *and I don't care.*) K.G.
