Try 'jot'. It comes with the system. It could use a lot of work to be really usefull, but for a novice, it's really great. I purchased an editor called 'AME'. It did some real nice stuff, but unfortunately, I could type faster than it could catch characters and it would miss them. Got to be too much of a pain with all the lost characters so I gave up on it. ~ -- ##################################################################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############
