I am using putty to SSH into a mac, if I try to edit a file with pico, nano or vi I get an output similar to this:
[username]$ pico textEdit.txt

Are there any settings I can change for either putty or my command prompt to allow a correct display of the output? (I haven't found any)
EDIT: I use plink to open the tunnel, if I open putty the regular way it works just fine
I have seen many solutions of using GUI editors over putty but I'd rather use a shell based editor for quick edits.

environment variable is set incorrectly.
