I do know the difference between z/os unix and linux. At least OEDIT on Unix is not has bad as VIM. But i have been using XEDIT on VM/CMS for years and it is still the best, so i might try nedit or "the", assuming we can get free versions of them (not enough zLinux users to justify buying anything).

They are separate, distinct, and definately NOT THE SAME! You might what either "nedit" or "the". "the" is "The Hessling Editor" and is an Xedit-like editor, and uses Regina (REXX clone) as its macro language. I don't use "nedit", but it is a full screen editor as well. But, then again, perhaps you need to be aware of the fact that I __like__ vim! Well, on Linux I like it. On z/OS UNIX, it sucks. On z/OS UNIX, I use ISHELL to display directories and OEDIT for editting them. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
