No, I did not read the man pages for the program. If breaking a line for 
a config file is the default, I would rather have mc available. The 
program is broken if it does not work in a sane manner with initial 
setup. I doubt seriously that I would use nano to write documents where 
the next line break would be advantageous.

Who reads directions until all other attempts fail? :-)

Thanks for the note regarding nano having man pages. I would not have 
guessed a b/w editor with no function keys for functions would have a 
man page on assumption.
