I personally hate vi, but I know it's there, and emacs is confusing as 
hell for a newbie. mcedit doesn't appear to be installed here, so I 
couldn't assume Joesenildo had it installed.

I might try installing mcedit at some point, I do hate vi, and I am 
rusty with emacs. But for the one edit in a blue moon I would need it, 
it isn't really worth the bother, (even though it is a 30 second job.)
