I also prefer pico for light editing, so I found a solution to this
problem.

Create an alias for pico that appends the -w command line switch to
disable wrapping.

On the Raq4, edit /etc/bashrc (I think, confirm before doing it) and
find the section that says something like, "system wide aliases go here"
and insert the following line:
pico='pico -w'

or for you super duper, full pathnames for everything, security nuts:

pico='/usr/bin/pico -w'

Log out and log in again and type the word alias to see if it worked.
