See if pico is installed. That's as close as your going to
get to a dos type editor on linux. I use pico all of the
time. Pico comes with Pine and is installed on a lot of
systems.

People that say 'use vi' or 'learn vi' are gluttons for
punishment. ( I was going to say idiot sevants... but I
didn't want to hurt their feelings )

Does anyone know of a text editor that is similar in layout and function to
the old MS-EDIT editor? I have been in the MS command line enviorment since
DOS 3.3 and am looking for something to ease into linux with.

Thanks in advance for any help!
