I was weaned on pico. Pico is a nifty editor if you're writing up an email or making a quick change to a file, but it's not exactly a powerhouse. I personally prefer nano (SuSE: are you listening? :), which is a pico clone with some much-needed enhancements.

VI is apparently the editor that's on many rescue disks, so I suppose every Linux user should know something about it :-(

The key to vi's popularity is twofold. Firstly, if you walk up to any UNIX or UNIX-like machine (Solaris, HPUX, IRIX, Linux, *BSD, OpenVMS, etc.), vi is there in one form or another. There is strength in numbers ;). Secondly, vi *is* a powerhouse of an editor; there are countless modifications, enhancements and so forth. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

Jon; When I was a boy I had to take a black drought and a "blue pill" when I was ill. They tasted horrible. I didn't like them and I feel the same way about vi. It's something nasty someone else made up to solve a problem. You may use it but you don't have to like it. Rusty Jon Pennington wrote:
