As I see it, it's not a matter of `learning' but of `using' what
is available on the boot disk.
My usual editor is emacs. Today I used `ee' for the first time,
while installing FreeBSD, it was so easy and pleasant. I can just
about limp around with vi. I would be perfectly happy to see any
of these editors be made available on the boot disk.
The problem is that `ae' is what's available. I just go bananas
trying to use it. It just rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps others
react to ae in a similar way?
Cheers,
