Jim,

If Hilit or Litebrite is in an anonymous ftp site, can you please post the address.
Alternatively, can you package and post it to the net. I'm sure a lot of people
will be interested. 

I've a request similar to the original poster. I'm coming to epoch after being
a power vi user. My attempts at learning the Ctrl-Meta etc. key bindings have
been frustrating in the past.
