LOL! I prefer ISPF myself, but I teach a "Vi at GunPoint" course that most people get through in about 10 mins of lecture, 10 mins of demonstration, 30 mins of lab, and 10 mins of wrapup.
Vi is very much simpler than ISPF, once you memorize about 12 often used commands, and another 10 that are used often but don't need to be memorized. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Bielefeld" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: ISPF for Linux + Other Question Alan and others, Thanks for the info. The one from UnEclipse Software can be bought on special right now for $89. I used to use XEDIT, so I can probably get by with the hessling-editor also, which is free. I do very little progamming or REXX, so I don't think I would want to try to do that. I know that once I get Linux up on the mainframe, I want to avoid the Vi editor at all costs. The hour I worked on it at an IBM class for AIX long ago convinced me I want to stay away from Vi.

I use it in USS all the time. It is free at: http://hessling-editor.sourceforge.net/ it also interfaces with REXX. Its just way cool ...
