Thanks for the replies.  Day 1 results:

Some, but not all of the windows computers had non-working nano via gitbash.  
In one case, running the installer 2x and restarting fixed the problem.

For other users, from the terminal:
notepad thesis.txt
works just fine.

The only hangup from using notepad is that shell scripts written on windows and 
scp'd onto linux/mac won't run b/c of the stupid line-ending incompatibility...

Thanks for the quick replies!

Subject: [Discuss] nano not found after installing gitbash

At a workshop this morning a few of our learners see a "nano not found" error 
after installing gitbash on Windows.

Is this a known error/bug?
