<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
This manual page documents briefly the
<B>nano</B>
command.
<P>
<B>nano</B> is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather
than just copying Pico's look and feel,
<B>nano</B>
also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico,
such as "search and replace" and "goto line number".

<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases.
Mainly, this will happen if Nano recieves a SIGHUP or runs out of
memory, when it will write the buffer into a file named "nano.save" if the
buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a ".save" suffix to the
current finename. Nano will <B>not</B> write this file if a previous one
exists in the current directory.
