install zsh from ports or packages and add this to your .zshrc
PS1=".%B(%b%D{%T}%B)(%b%n@%M%B)%b
%~%B %#%b "

you can define the 'EDITOR' variable to the editor you'd like these
programs to use.
i beg of you to not use pico to edit anything other than email messages,
it has a tendacy to break files by inserting line breaks in places you'd
rather it not.
if vi is too difficult for you then try 'ee'
export EDITOR=ee
