Use joe: it's being maintained it's in the red hat tree for a long time it's used by alan cox and I wonder if that's why it's in rhl :) it's 284K total, installed it has built in keybindings for: emacs, wordstar and pico. run jmacs, jstar or jpico or just run joe and learn it's bindings. it's a great, simple, REALLY lightweight editor. -sv
