As someone else mentioned, I'd strongly urge you to give nano a try. It
was originally developed as a pico-clone, due to the overly-restrictive
license that Pine (pico is the included text editor for Pine) is
released under.
Since that time, however, nano has evolved into a much more feature-filled
editor, and it's development moves at a pace much faster than that of
pico. Additionally, and most distributions have started including it as
part of the "standard" install, so there's a good chance it's already
installed! ;-)
