Re: Unix programmers: vi or pico?
The one thing to note about Pico and vi (other than the difficulty learning either) is that Pico can only handle a certain amount of characters. Anything that I couldn't open in Pico due to size could be opened in vi. (Is there a maximum limit in vi?)

Also, I just bought a book from a library for $3.00 called Unix Made Easy and it has a chapter dedicated to vi. I would suggest going to your local library and looking through the beginner Unix books for something similar.
