Description

Pico is a simple, display-oriented text editor based on the Alpine message system composer. As with Alpine, commands are displayed at the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive help is provided. As characters are typed they are immediately inserted into the text. This package is built using the re-alpine source, the continuation of the Alpine email client from University of Washington.
