Most programs accept Ctrl-Z - there are just some programs (including
pico) that catch the Ctrl-Z combination to do something else.
You can still suspend pico by switching to another tty (press Alt-F1 for
tty1, Alt-F2 for tty2, ...) and doing "kill -STOP `pidof pico`".
Another alternative is to use screen, which splits the screen in different
parts.
