Notepad, reg editor, etc. Depends on the mapping.
Sorry - no. In this case I'm talking specifically about the DOS "Edit" program. It was really popular amongst geeks for a long time and people still used it regularly into Windows NT and 2000 - but it was a silent killer. ;^) It's still available even in Windows XP. Go to a command line and type "Edit". You'll see this wonderful text editor! Open your CPU monitor at the same time - as you type in Edit you'll see your CPU grow and grow. I can't peg it any longer on my machine (a 3.06 GHz P4 with 2 Gig of RAM) but it still sucks up about 40-50% of the CPU just typing. On older machines it would just bring them to their knees.
