It has search and replace, regular expressions, and the cursor tracking works when moving left and right but not yet when moving up and down. In pico it does not work in either direction, so I guess that means nano is half way there. Interesting that there is so much variation among the different editors as far as the speakup cursor tracking behavior is concerned. Chuck On Sat, 23 Mar 2002, Dan Murphy wrote: > Hi Charles.
