IIRC, there was at least one--like kate--that was able to use abbreviations and help those folk who cannot type fast and/or who are hunt-andd-pek type typist [like me] who never take their eyes off the keyboard. i plan on using gvim ((maybe)) and one GUI type editor. i'm also requesting ideas. as many as you guys are willing to share. tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 8.51a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
