No problem. Glad it works for you. In the process of doing this, I learned about the "joe" editor and "pico" editor. Although joe does not have many features (although it is a fun nostalgic trip back to my days of turbo pascal's editor), I think it is the one I will offer for my staff to use. I like that it is automatically in insert mode, and that it can easily join two lines together.
vim is what I have been using for my editing when I have to use a terminal, but gosh it has a hard learning curve!
