Nitin, any vi clone will take several days to really get the hang of. I think it is time well spent[1] to learn a vi clone, but it will take you some time before you would be truly comfortable with it. On the other hand, you could probably start using emacs or xemacs today and be as productive as you are with nedit. There are other choices, but these two are most popular. With either one, you will get back more than what you put into them -- five minutes spent learning either one will probably save you more than that much time at some point in the future. I'd wager further discussion should happen elsewhere... ;) [1]: practically every unix system has vi available; so, if you get caught in some oddball situation with only vi, cat, and echo, for your text editors, you will be glad to know at least _some_ vi commands. -- Outlook users: please do not put my email address in your address book.
