I’m confused. Are you saying you’ve run nano before in QSH ?

I only use it from an SSH terminal session.

Hi Greg,

So, there are differences in the QSH and the SSH environments.? I can't
remember exactly what the issue was...my PATH in QSH is:

?$
?echo $PATH
?/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin:/usr/bin:.:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin

It includes the open source pkgs.? ?I am a fan of nano as an editor but
I can't run it in QSH even though the open source packages folder is in
the PATH:

?$
?which nano
?which: 0652-141 There is no nano in /QOpenSys/usr/bin /usr/ccs/bin
/QOpenSys/
?usr/bin/X11 /usr/sbin . /usr/bin.
?$

If I use SSH I see this:

bash-5.2$ echo $PATH
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin
bash-5.2$ which nano
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/nano
bash-5.2$

I don't recall why this is an issue.? QP2TERM does find it.

I used to know the ins and outs of the differences between the shells on
IBM i but I don't recall what can run where and why......
