✓ Tips

  • After you save a file for the first time and want to save new changes, just press then press to confirm the current filename and save it.

  • When you exit pico, you’ll get a last chance to save your changes. See Exiting pico in this chapter for the specifics.

  • If you try to save a new file over an existing one—which would obliterate the original—pico carefully asks you if you want to overwrite the file. Yes, and you’ll no longer have the original. No, and you’ll get to choose a new filename.
