Warren, If your looking to use a basic editor that is easier to use then vi try midnight commander 'mc' on SuSE. It is on the SuSE distro. MC has a basic editor and other basic utilities available. Very basic screen based editor not GUI but uses point and click mouse or PF keys. Sort of like MS Explore in that it allows you to go diving thru directories and searching for files or within files, copying files or directories. Invoked in an SSH session.

I use SSH to dial into my Linux on a VM guest and I am really hooked on using a full screen editor and can't deal with ed or vi. I tried using something like gedit when I dial in from another linux image (using the graphics ability of this remote linux) but it is slow and appears to be pretty buggy. The best thing I've found so far is to ftp a file down to the pc and then edit it with wordpad and then ftp it back. Regards, Terry L.
