Thanks.  I also found out a good editor in my own backyard-- it's Kate,
KDE's text editor.  At first look, it seems to be able to do what nedit
does.  And it looks better since it's integrated with the KDE desktop. 
I have yet to see which one of them is gonna be THE text editor of
choice (I'll try to use them both).

COOL!  And I thought I was the only loser using pico (which isn't even
distributed on it's own: it's part of the pine package on RedHat). 
Maybe I am (hehe), but bottom line is I get things done with it.  So
far, pico is enough for me for console apps; when it comes to bigger and
more complex codes, though, I settle for the GUIs.

Thanks for pointing me to nano, I'm downloading it right now.
