When I was trying to enter this command in the opened editor, by mistake
some other things were typed, I tried to remove all those, but it didn't
happen so ultimately I closed the editor and again run the same command but
this time 'crontab' has shown everything different and instead of opening
the editor it shows me something like this:

 GNU nano 2.2.2        File:
/tmp/crontab.FwEMzy/crontab

# m h  dom mon dow   command



















^G Get Help  ^O WriteOut  ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text  ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit      ^J Justify   ^W Where Is  ^V Next Page ^U UnCut Text^T To Spell

How can I make this crontab as it was in initial stage when it opened an
editor for me to enter something!

I just messed up with things and really seeing many different things!
