Not too familiar with GUI editors in *nix but I always use joe in a term if
it is available - guess I got used to the ^K sequences when I had to edit
CBASIC code in Wordstar back in the day.

Dustin, vi is just plain cruel :-P, I can remember when USL (will never be
UL to me!) only had "dumb" terminals with vi on the server - used to take
forever and a day to get our projects done...

Howabout a gui editor? I never could get into vi, or even emacs. nano -icKx
