try calling nano as /usr/bin/nano

Note: Linux commands are case sensitive. NANO is different from nano.

at first there isn't problem with this command! after my change there is problem!!

at first i write all commands without upper case!

Try replacing backup files of .bashrc and environment files with new edited files. Linux creates backup files by default.
Check the output of ls -al command. Backup files use ~ sign with actual file name.

As Lakshmipathi mentioned already, NANO is not nano. I would suggest you to use correct case for all commands in your posts to avoid confusion.

If you read his post, it says he edited /etc/profile and others. Which he shouldn't have done. he should have edited the ~/.profile in his home directory.

it would be useful to know which files exactly (path + filename, for example /etc/environment) were modified.

If you can't get an editor to work on your machine, using the installed operating system, you might try booting from a live-CD version. Knoppix is the old stand-by, but there are many others available -- in fact, the disk you used to install your current OS might even be live-bootable.

From there, you should be able to use the editing tools from the CD version to re-write the files you edited earlier.

I have read his post correctly. Backup files are created for every file and there will be /etc/profile~ file which thread starter can replace with new one.
