Never used Mousepad. Are you sure it's spelled and capitalized like that? Typing 'which Mousepad' or 'which mousepad' on the command line will tell you where it's at if it's installed and in your $PATH. The command 'gnome-terminal -e vim' opens an editing session in vim in a terminal window. "vim" is sorta kinda like a friendlier version of "vi", my favorite editor.
