Nano can be installed. Check "Extensions" from the pCP main page.

I think the vi editor is pre-installed. It's a good editor to know, but
if you have never used it before, it is frustrating and
counter-intuitive. Fortunately, plenty of guides to vi are available
online.

Also, there is a text file viewer -- not an editor -- called less. I
think it is pre-installed on pCP. And it's much more intuitive than vi!
