PICO means "very small" and also stands for "PIne COmposer". PICO is designed to be a "simple editor", ie only the bare minimum of commands and simply to use. Very good for beginners who wish to write emails and posts.

Pico is a great little command line WYSIWYG editor for those that find VI too arcane. Nothing fancy, but it does all of the basics. With the possible commands listed at the bottom of the screen, it has a flat learning curve.

What is PICO (the PIne COmposer)?

PICO - the PIne COmposer - a simple editor

PICO means "very small" and also stands for "PIne COmposer" (or "Pine Internal COmposer"), ie it is a text editor (composer) that ships with the Unix/DOS newsreader "PINE". PICO is designed to be a "simple editor", ie only the bare minimum of commands and simply to use. Very good for beginners who wish to write emails and posts.

The editor "Nano" is an OpenSource project/program to replace PICO. See nano's homepage at http://www.nano-editor.org/.
