SEUL: Text editors.

[Donovan Rebbechi <elflord@pegasus.rutgers.edu>]

Hi. I've tried out several text editors. I have gone through almost
everything on the linux apps page (all except SeX and scriptum.)
http://www.redhat.com/linux-info/linux-app-list/
And so far, Nedit still seems convincingly superior (for our purposes).
Ithas very windows-ish key bindings and a lot of nice pulldown menus.

Red also looked interesting. Online help + nice dialogue boxes. 

THe other editors there didn't look as suited to our purpose. Can post
detailed reviews when I'm awake.

The most user friendly console editor I've seen to date is pico. THere
areother editors with similar setup... I mean with the options displayed
on screen. (on sunsite) I'll check them out soon.

Any debian users out there? point your browsers at the url above, and try
out "SeX". It has a debian binary. Debian users have all the fun (-: I'm
just too exhausted to compile anything right now (having just tried
unsuccesfully to compile some obsolete sunsite stuff...)
