Well. The problem is very common with hurting hands. Everyone with
such pain, should consider reading the FAQ on Typing injuries (news
group "news.answers", as I cannot throw a ftp-site of my head).
The problem is basically *not* cured by switching editors but more by
changing your way of work with the console. Just a thing as pushing the
keyboard back, and resting your underarms on the table may do wonders --
it did to me!
