How about vi?  :-)
Never munge with the KILL file directly, that's nn's job.
You can edit the kill file with the editor of your choice, and it will
be recompiled into KILL the next time you run nn.
I suppose someone could whip up something that would edit the kill file
without the user having to know the format, but I don't have time at the 
moment.
