Hi Dustin:
It is really terrible to develop something in a pico. You should try vi
or emacs. Both are very powerful editor tools. Here is a page about JDE,
it is for emacs. Just following the instruction to install. It is a
great tool and much better than Visual J++ and Visual Cafe. Take a look
at: http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/
You can also try XEmacs (even better than Emacs). ftp.xemacs.org
BTW, you should have a good .emacs startup file to take advantage of
emacs.
Please check the emacs faq site for an example.
Don't try pico, it is not much better Microsoft Notepad or MS-DOS edit
tool
Have fun
