Creating and Editing Files with Pico
Pico is a full-screen UNIX text editor. Although it doesn't operate much differently than TextEdit, it contains features that help you work with UNIX based code.

For example, to create a file and name it accounting.txt, type pico accounting.txt. If the file already exits, Pico opens it for you; if it doesn't exist, Pico creates it.
