You might want to have a look at textedit, the SunView editor. "Real programmers" generally frown upon full screen editors (and use emacs of course) but I am quite happy with it. Once you learn to use the mouse and the buttons on the left hand side of the keyboard it is very fast. You can cut and paste without using the menu in this way. You can also pipe portions of your text through external filters (a C formatter for example). The big advantage of SunView over other window environments (a la Macintosh) is that it does not insist in treating you like a beginner all the time. Once you know all the shortcuts and key combinations, it is very efficient. Roman E.
