Though I'm personally far more vitriolic about VMS vs $OS (had a few souring experiences with VMS in college) than I am regarding Vim vs. Emacs, you can get Vim for at least OpenVMS: http://www.vim.org/download.php#others I presume sources compile fairly well on other flavors of VMS if needed, and I'd expect Emacs can do likewise[1] -tkc [1] http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnVMS -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
