Yeah, I know I > will now start getting flames saying what a dummy I am for not using > vi/emacs/etc. <BRUTAL SNIP> You should definitly try JOE. This acronym stands for 'Joe's Own Editor' and this software is written by a guy named Joseph H. Allen (I assume he is colloqially known as Joe -- just guessing...) It is an editor that has the ability to be tuned so to mimic different editors -- like pico, emacs (I know, I know, you don't want this one) star and my favourit one: Borland's TC/BC editor. Now you have one problem: I can't find out where I obtained JOE. (A quick archie-search didn't do any good for me). The documentation does mention the creator's email address, which is: jhallen@world.std.com. I suppose you could contact him this way. As for me, my slogan is: Edit at Joe's! Cheers and good luck, Jan vos. (vos@nesta.biol.ruu.nl)
