PICO - WHENVER WE READ A FILE IN, IT GOES TO THE END FILE FIRST.

TO GET TO THE TOP, WE HAVE TO PAGE UP WHICH IS CUMBERSOME...WHEN
YOUR DOCUMENT IS LONG...

CAN GET TO THE TOP OF FILE (DOCUMENT) WITH JUST 1 OR 2 COMMANDS

PLS ADVISE
THANKS

PLEASE TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE SHIFT KEY.

Ah, that's better.

The top-of-document command is ^w,^y. The end-of-document command is ^w,^v.

YES, YOU CAN. FIX YOU FSCKED UP KEYBOARD AND SAY "man pico".

[20 s later]

THEN START CURSING BECAUSE PICO IS NOT DOCUMENTED. SAY C-w C-v OR C-w
C-y TO GO TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF DOCUMENT.

Robin - now deaf

Yes.

And you can also read help when you type ^G.

That can answer all these questions.

Also, suppose Pico did not provide a way to go to the beginning.  You
could still use a term macro to help.  Entering one like:  ^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y

[Forget 'man pico'.  That won't answer any questions.]
