I'm looking for a small, simple ascii editor which will let a friend of
mine get into his ascii files, use cursor keys to get around on the screen, 
(better yet, his mouse) overwrite or insert, and quickly get out.  
Has anyone seen such a beast?  I've heard a rumor that PC Magazine or
one of those guys published source a long time ago for a program called
VSE which was a Very Small Editor.  It had all the basic functions and
was rediculously small.
Please don't mention Edlin.  I said he was my friend. :-)
I have ftp ability.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
