1 The default screen of nano consists of five areas.  From top to bottom
1 these are: the title bar, a blank line, the edit window, the status bar,
1 and two help lines.

1    The title bar consists of three sections: left, center and right.
1 The section on the left displays the version of ‘nano’ being used.  The
1 center section displays the current filename, or "New Buffer" if the
1 file has not yet been named.  The section on the right displays
1 "Modified" if the file has been modified since it was last saved or
1 opened.

1 shows important and informational messages.  Any error messages that
1 occur from using the editor will appear on the status bar.  Any
1 questions that are asked of the user will be asked on the status bar,
1 and any user input (search strings, filenames, etc.)  will be input on
1 the status bar.

1    The two help lines at the bottom of the screen show some of the most
1 essential functions of the editor.  These two lines are called the
1 Shortcut List.
