Re: Looking for an editing program in VMS??
There are VI implementation for OpenVMS.
http://thomer.com/vi/vi.html#versions
- VIM http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/os_vms.html
- VILE http://www.openvms.compaq.com/freeware/freeware50/vile092/
- GNV VI (tpu based) http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/gnvreadme_first.html
Personally, for quick notes I just used $CREATE notes.txt
or
$APPEND TT: my-notes.txt
hth,

Re: Looking for an editing program in VMS??
As Hein has noted, there is many editors available on OpenVMS, including several implementations of vi (I refer you to his response for a list of vi implementations).
Natively, there are also a variety of editors:
- TPU (the default for the EDIT command)
- EDT (a screen and line based editor originally from the RSX-11 family)
- TECO (a character based editor that goes back many many years, long before the PDP-11 or VAX was on the scene)
- SLP (a batch editing program)
All of the above are fully documented.

Re: Looking for an editing program in VMS??
Thus if you saved the file and named it myfile.txt then when you want to reedit it at some later time, all you have to do is:
$edit myfile.txt
It's as simple as that!
Good luck!

Re: Looking for an editing program in VMS??
$HELP EDIT
and answer /TPU to the next prompt.
While in the editor touch the PF2 key (above 8 on num keypad) or the PF4 key (top right on keypad) and type HELP there.
To save the file, just exit the editor with control-Z (the universal end-of-input character in OpenVMS). Or do that PF4 thing using the WRITE and EXIT commands.
Note be sure to check your terminal emulator for keyboard mapping settings.
Good luck,
Hein.
