Vi and EE are fine also, but again, I can't paste into them (or > at least I have yet to find out how) from other X apps. psgml isn't an editor, it's a mode for emacs. It's designed for editing SGML and XML. Since HTML is an SGML application, it works very well for that. Ditto for XHTML and XML. It's as GUI as the underlying emacs (i.e. - Xemacs has button bars, scroll bars, and such like goodies). Cutting and pasting in X is in general problematical; it seems like applications don't agree on what the clipboard is. If you keep a tool like xclipboard around, you can generally cut and paste from it to anything, and vice versa. I use that when I have a case where I cut from application X, and application Y doesn't see it. The other solution is to make sure all your applications are part of the same suite. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
