   Hello Maurice,

   Sure.  Create an account (connect to bbs.outpostbbs.net port 2303) and drop me    
   a line to let me know you're here.  I'll verify your account and then you can    
   connect via port 2202 for SSH.

   I know.  You're on the Canuckistan side of the pond, not the European. :D

   I think joe is better being scripted than nano.  MBSE uses a custom joe    
   configuration that nano (in my experience) would have a much more difficult    
   time with doing.  However, few people, besides me, use the MBSE external    
   editor.  MBSE does have a decent internal line editor if need be.  What I    
   should do is write up a system bulletin with "just the keys that you need".  I    
   think I have joe set up for WordStar emulation which I am familiar with.   
      
   joe does have its own internal help; hit CTRL-K H when in joe.
