    Pico is relatively simple. Pico is typically the editor for the pine
    email client. I used when I first started out in Linux. By the time I
    moved over to FreeBSD, vi or vim was my editor of choice and mutt was
    my email client. You probably won't want to use vi or vim because it is
    not necessarily intuitive. It is extremely efficient and great to work
    with after you get used to it though. It was one of the best things I
    learned to use. Hope that helps.

    Bryan
