I guess you've never tried Emacs (it has been said that random line noise is probably a valid Emacs key sequence). [grin] For short edits, I use vim. For more intensive editing, I use gvim. That's vim with a GUI interface. The cut'n'paste is easier to do. As is saving via a button; rather than exiting insert mode back to command mode to do the :w (write) command, then back to insert mode. > > Charles >> >> -- "Pessimism is a admirable quality in an engineer. Pessimistic people check their work three times, because they're sure that something won't be right. Optimistic people check once, trust in Solis-de to keep the ship safe, then blow everyone up."
