Many thanks for jogging my memory. Being in the old bash/vi mode I often don't think of the other options. I think the winscp might be the best choice but I looked at nano and yes it does look like a pico clone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: bdboyle@bdboyle.com Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:46:57 -0500 To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Editor ken: your last comment re using a windows editor and winscp was what i was going to suggest also if the noob was a unix/linux non-clueful type. --BryanSent from my iPhone 5...smallkeyboard, big fingers...pleaseforgive misspellings...

Why not have your neophytes use WinSCP and a Windows editor? It facilitates keeping off-line backup copies of the files you are messing with (among other things). 73Ken From: Doug Crompton [mailto:doug@crompton.com] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2013 2:38 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Editor Is there a neophyte editor in the acid release? This is not for me, I use Vi but I am installing systems for a couple of guys who I would not trust with Vi. I know IRLP uses Pico on Debian and that seems like a nice simple editor. Is that available for Centos? 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio____________________________________________...
