We are in the process of installing an email package on our Sequent system and most of the users who will be using it are not familiar with Unix. We would like to make it as painless as possible to use the email so we would like to find an editor that is 'somewhat' more friendly than VI. A full screen editor that uses the cursor keys to move around would be nice. Most of our users are used to the editors available on MS/DOS so something on that order would be nice. I suspect there are several available in the public domain, but I don't know where. Any help or suggestions are gratefully accepted.

The PICO editor that is supplied with Pine is supposed be very user friendly, albeit limited. I use Pine, but with vi, but it does compile as a seperate binary. You might even end up using Pine as your mail tool :-). It can be had from ftp.cac.washington.edu and compiled very easily under PTX. - Kyle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kyle Tucker - Email Administrator | Progress Software Corporation tucker@bedford.progress.com | 14 Oak Park (617)280-4565 | Bedford, Mass. 01730 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
