<H2>NAME</H2>
nano - Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico Clone

<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
This manual page documents briefly the
<B>nano</B>
command.
<P>
<B>nano</B> was originally known as TIP (TIP Isn't Pico). It 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".
