Well, I am not sure if only NANO has "search-and-replace"? I like some specific
options, so I alias nano -tzxk as I like cut from cursor, also suspend, which

I have no idea if pico had a configuration file or not, but I never use
one, just use the default mode of the editors, and it's always worked
exactly the same for me without having to do anything at all.

Any differences you're experiencing between pico and nano are purely a
difference of configuration. By default, they there is absolutely no
difference between the two. In fact, if it wasn't for the name of the
program being shown on the screen when you run it, I'd challenge anyone
Did pico have a configuration file? Nano has nano.conf available for use.

Pico is more flexible, speaking personally.
nano, again speaking personally makes odd choices, like going to the end

The recent nano on the Ubuntu setup for dreamhost no longer even uses the

Pico and nano are basically the same editor, just a later version, (you
know, pico is version 1.0, nano is version 2.0).
The way to run aspell or spell is exactly the same regardless of the
name of the editor in this case.
ctrl-t asks you what program to run, type spell or aspell, depending
apparently?
There is more to this solution, at least where the speller is concerned.
the editor in lynx in use is pico..cannot fault them there, I prefer it to
nano as well.
Alpine in their setup is using aspell for spell checking, so they want to
add this on the editor line.

Hi,
yes that helps allot.
As I prefer pico to nano for example in the lynx config for my user
setup here that line has pico -s name of speller, ispell I believe.

If they're already comfortable with a preferred editor, you can
tell Lynx to use that on the command-line with
Hi everyone,
I am helping someone resolve an issue, they have access to lynx, but the
editor field is blank.
They are using Ubuntu.
While I can certainly tell them how editors are set for our shellworld
configuration, I want to be sure of something first.
In alpine for example there is a field
