Yup, that's correct ... and PICO has another very useful command which is 
^G (that's control + g) which is 'Get Help'.  Only a thought.  G'Day;-)

Ctrl-space.  Atleast this is how it works on Unix.

Yup, very handy that ^G. Am I using an old version of Pico (2.6 Unix)?
Ctrl-space is nowhere listed on my help screen. These are the only (sparse)
movement keys listed:

        ^F        move Forward a character.
        ^B        move Backward a character.
        ^P        move to the Previous line.
        ^N        move to the Next line.
        ^A        move to the beginning of the current line.
        ^E        move to the End of the current line.
        ^V (F8)   move forward a page of text.
        ^Y (F7)   move backward a page of text.

Are there any others that I would love to know about besides word forward?
Such as:

        o word backward

        o go to bottom of file

        o go to top of file

        o others?

thanks!

Well, look at that! At long last! Thanks!

Is 2.6 'old'?

Thanks
