[Eug-lug] how do I get out of this?

[Ben Barrett]

Since vi/vim is the default for most linux boxen, it is important to know
its basics.  However, it has a lot to offer, and some might benefit from a
loaded GUI variant, which folks can even get started with (or use instead of
wordpad!) on other platforms: http://cream.sourceforge.net/featurelist.html
I don't use this, but thought it, or other GUI variants, might help some
childrens do learn.

I also wanted to suggest that you can change your EDITOR environment
variable on most systems, and for many command-line newcomers and also some
old DOS-heads, I find that setting it to nano (GNU version of pico) is very
effective.  There are certain cmdline admin tools which use vi though....
beware :)

Vi is dead, long live vi!
