I run Sage on my Mac rather than on the web. I often bring up the 
previous command and edit it then rerun it. The editor is very tedious 
in that the only way I have figured out how to move the cursor around in 
the text is one character at a time using the left and right arrow keys 
and the back-space-delete key. Given a several-line for-loop to edit 
this can be frustrating.

Am I missing something obvious to everyone else? Is this a feature of 
the Mac rather than Sage?

A less-than-satisfactory work-around is to copy/paste to a programmer's 
editor, do the change, then copy/paste back to Sage.

Which leads me to another and related question. Are the editing 
capabilities of Sage when used with cells (as described in some of the 
Sage ref's) on a web server significantly better? If so would I be well 
advised to install web server software on my Mac and use Sage that way? 
(I don't have 24x7 fast web access...)

Is that installation process complicated?

PS So far you support people have done just fine answering this old 
programmer but Sage newbie's questions. Thanks.
