In your home directory, look at your .bash_profile You should
have the following entry to set the terminal type. If not, pico
will not work properly, and telnetting into your linux box from
Win 95 (which emulates a vt100) will also bomb out when you start
pico. These two lines need to be in .bash_profile :
TERM=vt100
export TERM
