I have yet to run into anything as a text editor vim can do that nano can not save it be multi-file screen splitting stuff (like windowing, but not). Nano doesn't even attempt. Nano is not as powerful, I don't dispute that, but I think it comes a lot closer than you're giving it credit for, and it's great for editing config files on servers I share logins to. I can't have my vimrc on shared boxes.
Well, I could, but I'm not a jerk in that particular area. -Tod Hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
