Editor?
 

Is there another editor in the Terminal besides vi or vim?

Thanks,
Bill

There's nano (a pico clone) which you can install from the app manager

And there's a port of emacs floating around the site :) Try doing a search for it

Hope this helps :)

You can use Leafpad, one of the easiest editors out there. Sometimes it's hard to navigate to certain directories FROM leafpad, but if you're in a terminal just type leafpad filename and you're "in like Flynn", whoever he was.

Oddly, Internet Tablet OS doesn't ship with ed. That's fairly unusual for a *nix.

You can install mc - there's a fairly easy editor in it.

We get Busybox. I wish I could say that was unusual for a portable *nix device :(

Thanks for the reply.

I've used nano in the Mandriva distro, but I don't find it in my App manager. What repository do I need to add?

I like joe. Been using joe for years. There is an OS2008 port available, but the screen isn't quite right in Xterm non-fullscreen.

Search Gronmayer for the editors. Gronmayer has it all! ;)

Hmm... joe works fine here -- did you install ncurses-base? It's not a dependency, but the fall-back is not compatible with osso-xterm, so you really want it.

Well, I appreciate all of the replies, but I could not find anything that works with Diablo. I get either incompatible, or missing dependencies, or just nothing.
