The only other editor I know of, is EMACS. I'm not sure where the source code is, and never use it myself, but it's meant to be a lot more user friendly then vi. Nigel Reed Email:nigel@vodapage.demon.co.uk The poor guy is asking for something uncomplicated and nice and easy. I am a great fan of Emacs (using it now to compose this) but there is no way on earth I would describe it as uncomplicated nice or easy. Powerful, extensible, better than an operating system yes, but uncomplicated or easy, no way. Phil
