If using bash as your SHELL, enter:

	$ command -V nano	# lists what will execute

	$ type -a nano		# lists aliases, functions, exes in PATH

and it should tell you if there are any aliases or functions fronting your nano;
also you can run the nano exe using:

	$ command nano		# runs exes in PATH
and
	$ /usr/local/bin/nano	# runs exe at path

and see what version you get in each case.
