I have used vi on the system console but you are very limited. You can't
do anything that requires special characters.
There are two workarounds, it seems. You can set up the system console as
3270 then use NED. That is on my to-do list. Another way out is to use
Linux tools that don't need special keys. You can use a line editor like
ed, sed and awk, pipes and such-like. One geek here sees every problem as
a chance to write a one-line perl command!

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe world any more.
