* Carlos E. R.
One of the reasons I liked Linux is that it had a CLI with the features MsDos could have had, but never had. And one thing I disliked was the sometimes cumbersome interfaces - like for example, keys like ctrl-right not working in editors, or mouse doing nothing in text mode. Thus, gpm was nice... the only program I know that uses the mouse in text mode is mc (midnight commander). I guess that user friendly programs came to Linux when graphic desktops were already in boom.
I use jed in mail.mode/mutt.mode as my editor in mutt. Removes sig's and correctly reformates quotes, removes quote layers, etc. AND recognizes the mouse in xterm or a regular term session with gpm active. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
