I don't know of any non-X11 editors that supports using the mouse for anything. (They might exist, I just don't know about them.)

It is not quite as powerful as vi or Emacs but IMO a good deal easier to learn. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
