JOE is nice. :-) Seriously, joe is a pretty powerful text editor. My boss
uses it to write HTML pages. :-) It uses the old "wordstar" commands (like
CTL+K, X to save and exit.) BTW, AFAIK, this is console-mode only. Whichever
GUI you choose to run will probably have a default text editor. And you can
always install Word Perfect or Star Office as well. :-)
Hope this helps...
