 The original goal for @code{nano} was a complete bug-for-bug compatible
 emulation of Pico, but @code{nano}'s main goal is to be as compatible as
 possible while offering a superset of Pico's functionality.  See
 @xref{Pico Compatibility}, for more info.
 
+The usual way to invoke @command{nano} is:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden address@hidden@dots{} address@hidden
address@hidden smallexample
+
+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:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden address@hidden@dots{} address@hidden @address@hidden
+
address@hidden address@hidden@dots{} address@hidden,@var{column}] @address@hidden
address@hidden smallexample
+
