It is a good idea to learn how to use vi. almost any system that you use will be able to run a version of it, and it has a lot of nice features. At most it will take about 30 minutes to be able to use it as easily as windows notepad, and soon you will find it your favorite editor.

The only system that I have used where I had to use a different editor was an as/400, but it would have felt sorta funny editing rpg in anything besides seu anyway . . . lol

If you run vimtutor at a command prompt, it'll open up a tutorial on using vim.

Some basic commands for vi:

* To view/open a file:

# vi filename

* To edit a file once it is open:

Press the "i" key

* To save your file after editing:

Press the ESC key after you've edited the file and type the following:

:wq

(:wq stands for write & quit)

I am a big fan of vi..it's quick and easy to use.

If you still want the actual pico program, it comes packaged with pine. I still use pine as my primary mail client since there is no risk of anything nasty happening.... and I love its threaded view :-)

Well its by far the most reliable of the full featured mail clients. I leave thunderbird open running its automated spam stuff, use pine to read. Can't beat the combo ;)
