   I shall try SlyEdit when I get a chance.

   I "accidentally" tried the default pico install in the sense that I didn't   
   ask synchronet to add it... it just appeared at some point with an upgrade   
   or fresh install.  I didn't know it was there until a user tried to use it   
   and it barfed on them -- pico wasn't installed on that machine at the time.   
      
   Here, "pico" actually calls nano.  I tried it out earlier this week, too, and   
   it works ok with plain ascii messages but barfs hard on any replies to   
   messages that have any extended ascii in them.  I would not mind using that   
   as my *personal* editor, but wouldn't want to let users use it as they'd   
   not know not to quote any high ascii messages.

   Considering that I figured I was misunderstanding something, I thought it   
   was, too!  :D
