Okay, maybe the other program is best for you.  You seem to like
learning so I will explain how to use pico.

In pico, it's just like gedit (Text Editor) that you used to copy and
paste your xorg.conf a minute ago.

To move around and alter text, just use the cursor keys, page up/down.

To save a file, use Crtl-o, check the filename, and press enter.
To exit the program, use Ctrl-x, if you are asked to save, press y or
n depending on whether you want to save.
To find some text, use Crtl-w, enter a search string, and press enter.


To find out more, if you are interested, open a terminal session and type:

man pico

Most of the Linux terminal programs have a man page.  Navigate with
up, down, page up, page down, and press q to exit.  Some might look
complicated, but they might help in the future.
