as i recall, some folks around these parts are fond
of midnight commander (or `mc` for short) as a
file manager/text editor combo.
tip: when using 'mc' via remote access (ssh, for
example) you may not be able to get your keyboard
to send 'fkey' sequences properly. to get "f10"
you can do "ESC-ZERO" as a handy workaround...
i use vi (elvis) myself.
