Janina - Tha;nks for the tip on nano - I will check it out. As for moving by a word at a time, there is a workaround that I have learned to live with in pico. What I do is leave the true cursor where it is and move by words with the review cursor. When I find what I need I do a search for that word (or some unique part of it) and now the two cursors are joined again. Could be better, but could be worse too.
