Use joe. It's small, even smaller than vi. It has a pico mode which simulate pico key
bindings.

Not to add anymore fuel to the Holy Flame War about to start:
I grew up on DOS, then migrated to Windows 3.x, then Win95, and finally
have been using Linux in some shape or form for about 2 years now. I
currently use Pico as my editor of choice under Linux, because it's the
only one I have found that behaves as close to DOS EDIT or Windows Notepad
as I can find. This was all fine and dandy until one day when I was editing
/etc/groups and when I saved, it wrapped a line or two. That's not good, so
I am looking for a replacement for Pico, something that is as simple to
use, that I don't have to remember alot of commands, and is a full screen
editor. Old habits die hard I guess. If I had to, I could learn vi or
emacs, but I want to stick with something that I am familiar with. Any
suggestions?
