Using pico to edit files on-line

After logging into your account on www.rochester.edu, change into the directory where your home page files are stored using the cd dirname command, where dirname is the name of your Web directory.

You can type ls to list all the files and subdirectories in that directory (See the Unix Guide for more commands). When you know the file name of the file you want to change, and you are in the right directory, type pico filename to edit the file.

Quick reference for Pico commands

ctrl-x y [enter]
Save and exit
ctrl-x n
Quit without saving
ctrl-k
Delete the current line
ctrl-v
Page Down
ctrl-y
Page Up

Other commands are simply listed at the bottom of the screen.
