Ha ha! Yes indeedy. I learned vi when I first learned unix and
when I started using pine I had to 'enable custom editor implicitly'
to stop the d*mn thing beeping at me!
I can't imagine using an editor that doesn't have two modes...this
is more important to me than syntax colouring. As far as the mouse
goes...I'd find a built in cigarette lighter more useful. I mean,
I've already got a coffee holder tray that slides out when I press
this little button here...
