For my RHEL4 on a VM guest, all I can see is using emacs through putty to do our editing. (we are a heavy editing environment). I have managed to used gedit from a linux desktop but that was somewhat painful and now refuses to work at all (but I don't really miss its instability). Am I stuck with putty and emacs?
So you want to use a graphical editor? If you ssh from a Linux workstation to your virtual server and forward the X11 connections, then your X11 application will just come up on the workstation. You could even bring up a file manager that way. The performance may not be what you would like, but that's probably more due to the remote host than zSeries. Alternative would be to mount the file system on your Linux workstation and do your editing there. I did something similar when I could not get enough disk space on the mainframe. Simply mount a file system of the workstation on the host. It also let me untar the files on the workstation and then compile them on the host.
