The only non-gui text editor that I have used is Jed. I have used it to bail me out of a few recovery episodes. A bit awkward to use, but it did what I needed it to do. I think it gets installed by default with Redhat, at least it used to. Chuck ------------------------------------ This is the Juneau-LUG mailing list.
