Wow, are guys geezers? vi!? emacs!? I just use my ssh secure shell by ssh.com and use the file browser to locate the file and edit it locally then when i click save it conveniently loads it back on the server all snug and secure. But if you are working on terminal system I guess you are stuck. But, who is working on pure terminal systems for development these days? I would be interested to know.
