On a related issue, alpine is available as a debian package. It's an open
source version of pine and is a simple file download for debian users.
The reason to replace pine with alpine is that pine is proprietary and
only gets support when people at the university of washington find
problems and if you don't attend that university they're not interested in
any problems you have or might have with pine. Alpine on the other hand
has a larger supported user base as does all open source software.
Alpine is even available for windows computers too. You can also download
alpine-pico which nano replaced earlier in the form of pico and pilot.
Pilot is a file manager and is similar to fdclone and lfm if you know what
those are. If not, you may have heard of midnight commander mc, well
these three alternatives are blind-friendly replacements for midnight
commander.

A while ago I had a question about global find and replace - d how to
get the current version of nano to put the cursor on whatever is to be
replaced instead of highlighting it. There seemed to be no answer. I
have now found the source for nano 1.2.2, which does just that. It works
fine for my purposes, and I can send it to anyone who wants it.
Hi,
Have you tried version 1.2.4? It's available from Debian mirrors and the site
below.
If anyone wants old versions of Nano going back to at least 1.0 and probably
earlier, just go here:
ftp://ftp.nano-editor.org/pub/nano/
I found 1.2.2 in the v1.2 directory. I have used versions in the 2.0.x series
and did not have the problem that this poster seems to be having, but I don't
do a lot of global search and replace. When I search for something with ^W,
it puts the cursor at the beginning of the phrase I'm searching for. I wish
it would put the cursor at the end so I can delete it easier, but that's just
me.
