Hi All,

I am looking for a simple text editor that i can use when 
i connect to the freebsd box with an ssh client (no x window) 
that supports vt100 or vt400 (called putty.exe) . 
Should also be able to connect to a linux box by recompiling
source for the linux computer. 

There are so many editors listed in the packages cd , can 
anyone recommend one in particular

Prefered is one that is menu driven with no keystrokes 
to remember other than the common keys on the pc
keyboard : delete , arrows , backspace etc. 

thanks 

Henri
