In Chuck's defense, I would say "vi" too, but if you had a choice of an editor IN ADDITION TO vi, which would you pick? (remember it must fit on the boot floppy :-) I heard one vote for "joe" which is a decent editor, but since pico is more popular, and we ARE doing this for newbie's, I narrowly lean towards that. I would NOT choose ee, as it has no advantage over vi to me, nor would I expect, to a new user. So in other words, if there is room on the boot disk for two editors, one of which being vi, what do you vote for as the second editor? ---Jake
