I've used two editors on LINUX. The one editor was whatever popped up with
USS on z/os as accessed from an ISPF main panel. The other LINUX editor I
used was built into the web site space I rented.  I just looked at a
descripton of GVIM on :

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~homecomputing/cdrom/html/gvim.html

Sounds better than the editor I ended  up using. I gave up on the editor
provided by the web hosting company and used notepade and uploaded my
changes later.

This is likely to be sacrilegious, but I really have gotten to like gvim on
Linux. I don't know how to write "macros" for it, but I've not yet had too
much of a need for that. I simply adore regular expressions.
