I like pico, but is there a way to jump to the end of file and top of file
really quickly?

Ctrl-Wv  'search' to bottom
Ctrl-Ey  'search' to top

In fact,  once your enter ctrl-W, the message bar at the bottom will 
change to show Y for first line and V for last line.

    Yes.  In Pico (or in Pine when composing/editing), first press ^W for 
the Whereis command; then press ^Y to go to the top or ^V to go to the 
bottom.

>Ctrl-Wv  'search' to bottom

What?  Your listing for going to the bottom is going to search for the 
next occurrance of the letter "v", and for bottom will place a lowercase 
'y' at the end of the current line.

The correct keys are control-w, control-v for going to the bottom, and 
control-w, control-y for going to the top.

OOPS!

Of course, you are absoluetly right.  

When you do it automatically, you don't even realize you haven't taken 
you finger off the control key.
