> [atlantis ~]$ which mc
> /usr/bin/mc
> [atlantis ~]$

> Try typing the word  pico and press Enter. Across the bottom of the

> ^G Get Help  ^O WriteOut  ^R Read File ^Y Prev Pg   ^K Cut Text  ^C Cur
Pos
> ^X Exit      ^J Justify   ^W Where is  ^V Next Pg   ^U UnCut Text^T To
Spell

> The first one, ^G   means to press the left Ctrl key, and the letter g

> To edit a file, I would call pico like this

> [atlantis ~]$ pico -w name_of_file

> Use the arrow keys to move the curser, and just type what you wish to
enter.
> When you are done, press the left Ctrl key and the letter o  to save it,
> then press the left Crtl key and the letter x to exit.

> For mc, enter the command mc which will start this program.  Use the arrow
> keys to highlight the name of the file that you wish to edit, then press
the
> F4 key.  The menu on the bottom of the screen  will change from this:

> 1Help   2Menu   3View   4Edit   5Copy   6RenMov 7Mkdir  8Delete 9PullDn
> 10Quit

> to this:

> 1Help   2Save   3Mark   4Replac 5Copy   6Move   7Search 8Delete 9PullDn
> 10Quit

> Again, the 1 to 10 refer to the function keys, not the number keys.
Pressing

a
