Subject: Pine-like editor?

Is there an editor available that works similarly to Pine?  I have found 
it very easy to use and would like to use it instead of the other editors 
that are on my system.  VI is available but seems to be best suited for 
the programmers and often times I don't need all the overhead that is 
associated with using WordPerfect for Unix.

Can you help me or send me the email address of someone who can?

Thank you.

Pico, the Pine editor, is packaged with Pine.  It may be installed on 
your host already.  If not, you can get it in source or compiled from 
ftp.cac.washington.edu.

    Pine's composer has been "split out" as a separate editor called Pico 
(PIne COmposer).  If you are using Unix Pine, I would suppose that Pico 
is also lurking around somewhere from the installation of Pine.  Just try 
entering "pico" or "pico <somefile>" (no quotes).  If that doesn't work, 
try looking in the libraries /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.  Failing that, 
ask your system administrator.

I highly recommend joe2.8.  It's no harder to use than pico, but it's much
more powerful.
