Hello, I currently run a public access UNIX (SCO XENIX) site and we are in the process of allowing people who are not familiar UNIX and UNIX-style editors (vi, Emacs, etc.) access to our system. I am looking for a simple line or visual editor than John Q. Public could use with ease. In particular, as a mail editor for Elm 2.3. I have tried WordPerfect and Microsoft Word for SCO XENIX and neither fits the bill. They are far too complex for such a simple task. Something that emulates a typical BBS editor or the CompuServe editor would be great. John Q. Public should be able to use it day one with little or no assistance. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. --Paul -- Paul Telles, PUBNET, Honolulu, HI - paul@pubnet.com - 0004002682@mcimail.com "UNIX is a simple, coherent system that pushes a few good ideas and models to the limit." D.
