The usual way to invoke @code{nano} is:
@quotation
@code{nano [OPTION]@dots{} [FILE]}
@end quotation
But it is also possible to edit several files in a row. Additionally,
the cursor can be put on a desired line number by adding this number
with a plus sign before any file name, and even in a desired column
by adding it with a comma. So the complete synopsis is:
