'vi' is out of the question - way too complicated for an end-user. 'emacs' might be okay if someone has put together a really simple interface. 'cat' is a little too crude. Anecdotes, ideas, source code - all appreciated. Pete Gregory, UNIX SA | pete@wvus.org R 2 4 World Vision U.S. | elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!wvus!pete |_|_| 919 W.
