I think most "hackers" use emacs, and novices goto emacs sooner or later. Help of ee is not good. I had problems how to exit from it! The main tasks you must be able to do are: Function pico emacs ee vi exit+save C-x C-x C-c C-c exit ZZ * delete line C-k C-k C-y dd * delete characters Del Del Del (?) x * add characters a a a a ** add lines a a a a ** a = just type it in (and use enter for new line - complicated for some novices) * = you must be in command mode ** = you must be in input mode pico: all main commands all time on the screen emacs: read the manual or help ee: most main commands on the screen (exept exit+save) vi: read the manual or help Many pico commands same as in emacs, ee commands from TurboPascal/WordStar ?
