I realize that this is probably a really stupid question, but I think the pain medication I am on along with the late hour of the evening - PLUS my long horrible day at work - has gotten my brain fried.

Question is... I'm trying to edit something - and I was under the impression that pico was on the servers. Am I wrong? (I very well could be - I should probably go to bed and try again in the morning, but I'm a very stubborn girl)

Is pico available and if so, what am I doing wrong.

I'm typing in:

pico filename

and I get nothing.

nano is installed.

yes, on rebirth nano, vi, and vim are installed.

For vi and vim I strongly recommend the manpages first for a beginner. =)

I once got trapped into vi by passwd . Had to reset terminal ^-^.

Yeah with vi it's realy hard to work if you are just beginer :-) I sugges to install pico in ReBirth too it'll be better fot beginers of knowlegde in *nix system like me ^^. Usually i use WinSCP there is very simple editor like notepad ^^ when i need to edit some biger files more than 100 rows it's hard to find an error in putty winow ^^.

thebeast, if you're used to pico, you can use nano on Rebirth, it's almost identical to pico.

I don't need to use rebirth i've one shell here and i don't need anymore i will with pleasure leave the place for users who need that shell :-) And i still in shock is that realy girl using shells? ^^
