I'm going to be teaching a bunch of fairly bright high school kids
some computer stuff for a few weeks this summer. Some of it will be on
Unix. From past experience, I know that the amount of time they spend
figuring out logging on, editing files, etc. has to be minimized.
What I'd like are recommendations for a very simple, small text editor.
It shouldn't do anything fancy---move the cursor, type text, backspace
to delete, tab, save files, quit, maybe delete lines, and thats about
it. As well, the terminals they'll be using have arrow keys, so it
should be configurable (not by them) to take advantage of them.
If anyone has any suggestions for this (ftp-able preferably), please
email me. Thanks.
