What is VIM? Where could it be downloaded? What is CLI? I am looking for GUI/command prompt text editor for Windows 7= /8. The notepad plus program lacks start/end block setting option even though i= t have a lot of hot keys. My top priority is setting start/end block optio= n which was available for old DOS-based text editor, but I have not seen an= y window-based text editor for this option. 16-bit DOS text editor program= will not run on 64-bit operating system. Please advise. Thank you.

I'd honestly recommend vim (CLI) or gvim (GUI). NOTE: Assuming FreeBSD here. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
