Thanks!

To answer the question "why", well, I'm not in the habit of using features 
that aren't documented in the program's manual pages. To find out what you 
were talking about, I had to find 
http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/nano.html

Perhaps the nano.1 man page could be amended to summarize the Special 
Functions and Feature Toggles sections of that document. It is not safe to 
assume people are familiar with pico (or even have it) or that they would 
would know to look on the web for the rest of the documentation.
