I have pico, because I run pine. But I notice that things don't work at

finding pico? Could it find nano better? Do I need a full path for it?
Is pico being run at all? If so, then you don't need a full path; Pan is
finding it OK. (Aside from the possibility that you have two different
copies of pico installed that behave differently.)
If pico is being run, then I assume what you mean by "things don't work
at all the same way" is that pico is not functioning the same way when
you start it from Pan as it does when you start it within pine. That
would probably mean that there are settings for pico that are being
picked up when you run pine, but not when you start it from Pan. That's
probably because pine has settings for pico (hopefully in its options,
so you can look at them, rather than in the source code) that Pan can't
see. (If the settings were in a file somewhere, such as in your $HOME
directory, Pan should be able to find them.) But then I don't know much
about how pico works; I prefer joe as my editor and used it even when I
used to run pine.
Finally, I'm afraid I don't know what nano is.
Best,
Tim
