If you're looking for a great text mode (full screen) editor, check out THE (The Hessling Editor). Best feature is that it emulates XEDIT, including use of REXX for scripting.
Personally, I use 'pico' a lot because it is relatively light and easy to use, lighter than THE. EMACS can be run in text mode (as well as GUI mode via X). But it's heavy, heavier than THE. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
