Another viable option is SciTe. It's a nice windows GUI text editor which is a 
single file - no install required. Drop it anywhere in the path and it just 
works.

Thanks Matt,

I looked through the issues but didn't see that one. I'll watch that thread.

Haven't used atom under Windows, but have been impressed under OS X. Not 
relevant to this thread but the remote pair programming plugin is lovely.

Would atom (https://atom.io) be a viable option here?

We told participants in today's workshop to say 'notepad' when 'nano' fails.
A better solution would certainly we welcomed by many.
