Thanks !! :) Email - There are lots of e-mail programs that run under command line. I didn't have a real experience with these. Suft - You wanna have a look at lynx. This is a text brouwser with support for frames. Editors - There are two editors that come installed with the OS and many more you can install from the ports system. The first Ed is an easy to understand. The second is vi. More complex but real handy, ones you know how to handle it. The handbook holds more information. You wanna read at least chapter 1-4 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html -- Best regards, Alex mailto:freebsd@akruijff.dds.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
