Hi,

try gvim (out of the vim-family):

It depends on what you expect.

From my terminal point of view it's any flavour of vi, like suggested. I would prefer this.

If you want to have a GUI, a classic one is nedit since years
http://hpux.asknet.de/hppd/hpux/Editors/nedit-5.5/

or jedit
http://www.jedit.org (java-based).

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Greetings,

I've been placing nedit on all my systems... never had any problems and the users seem to love it!

Thanks for all the replies.
Tried nedit but it keeps core dumping on me.
Still, it gives me a opportunity to do some investigation and fault fixing. Nothing like the satisfaction of resolving a problem!
