I'm not sure what the problem w/ EMACS is... It will function as a plain text editor, and was available on most OSes. However, If you are looking for a "notepad" substitute, try Kedit , I haven't tried the other variations ( Joe, Nedit etc. )They are all attempts at recreating a *familiar* look'n'feel in various ways.. There are a lots of editors, from plain to insane ,available. Please,feel free to sample them all.. no cost unless you don't have the boxed set or a fat pipe .. downloading some of them could take a while if you are just using a modem. Nothing is small and simple any more. 'Relax, is linux.' What you dislike , you probably can change ; if not there is bound to be at least one program that could be customized to operate as you wish it to do. At the risk of sounding pollyanna-ish, no one will sue you for tossing out whatever program you dislike. Just wander thru places like packman, kde-apps.org , kde-files.org and countless others and see what you can find. ' relax is Linux ' , better even, is opensuse linux , jump in the water is fine. ;) -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
