I feel deeply insulted, as a pine user ;)

One feature that pico has over notepad is, that pico will not complain if
it has to edit a 10Meg flat file. Nor will it slow down significantly.

Also, the average secretary will be typing away in 15 minutes, when sat
down in front of pine/pico. The only other editor that does this in Linux
is Joe (by Joe Allan). Everything else has a learning curve ;) Oh, btw,
there is Hebrew pico (hpico) in Hebrew pine ;) ;) Does visual Hebrew
(Horror and damnation !) <g>
