Ok, I know you hate vi, you mentioned it earlier, but perhaps you will
give it a new try. Then vi is on every unix/linux. Learn it once and use
it everywhere!!!
OK, vi has a strange user interface, because it was born when terminal
had no cursor or function keys. How can this incredible editor make your
wishes come true.

Is not a problem :-)

vi is a front end to that unbelievable line-editor ex (you remember
edlin.com on dos?) You enter this ex by typing a simple colon ":" (in vi
of course! you will see the : at the lower left corner.)
Use the set wrapmargin command, e.g:
:set wrapmargin=4
This enables wordwrap 4 chars before the right margin! WHOLE WORDS
:set wrapamrgin=0 (disables wordwrap)
:set (shows the actual settings)
:set all (shows all posibilities)
:set x (typically set th x option),
:set nox (typically disables the option)
> can save/load files (I think that every text editor has them)
:w filename (to save)
:r filename (read a file into the edit buffer, means insert)
:e filename (edit a new file)
> runs in console
see section runs in mu :-)

For more info read this little tutorial at
http://www.navigare.org/vi-muman.uk a sunsite.auc.dk/mulinux-link. I
think it is really good and it not wasted time.
Ups, navigare seems to be offline, try this:
http://edu.zbw.ch/~gthimm/vi-muman.uk Also in italian or german with
the extensions .it or .de
Bye, Gerhard
