No text editing???

[Janina Sajka]

Chuck:

Since you mention a fondness for pico, let me suggest nano to you. It's a
gpl pico clone with a few added features. In particular, it supports
search and replace very well. Now, if it would just support movement by
word ...

That's my problem with text editing on linux. There's no way, short of
emacs, to move by words. I can move up and down by lines, and left and
right by chars. But left and right by chars gets very tedious in a long
report.

So, I'm slowly learning emacs--an effort I know will eventually payoff
handsomely. Meanwhile, the work just needs to get done and I suffer over
the lack of word movement.

PS: I also am still on the lookout for something to read the newer
WordPerfect file format under linux. No luck yet in that area.
