.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
|
|
|
.B nano
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
|
|

|
.PP

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
.\" respectively.
|

|
|
|
\fBnano\fP 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
|
|
|
|
|
also implements some missing (or disabled by
|
|
|
|
|
default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "goto line
|
|
|
|
|
number".
