Personally, I love VI. I used PICO first but found VI easier to deal with sometimes. Also, quit trying every text editor out there. Just use one and one only. Thats what i did with VI, and i only know about 10 commands in the program.....very small compared to what it actually does. You just have to learn how it works and then you will understand and use it much faster. Rob
