I want to know what file to edit within pico, this is for an assignment i have to do and im pretty clueless here, here is the proper wording of how it was phrased to me....

use pico to open and edit the bash Linux login file (stored in your Linux root directory). Be careful not to change any of the existing login file commands, and simply add the new commands for items listed for a, b, and c, below to the end of the login file. To test the modified login file, log out and log back in, then use the customized commands.

a) display contents of a directory => mycd
b) display date and time => mydt
c) logoff => myexit
