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.) -- Richard Urwin
