JOVE is an screen interactive text editor (it has good cursor and screen
controlling capabilities), I guess mostly for UNIX systems. It's a lot like
your average PC word-processor, with windows and without menus. It's got a
mess of commands accessible via a command line. You can also do neat things
like define macros and define set-ups for different types of files, like a
c-mode and a text mode. It's a good editor. In fact, I'm using it right now
to write this article!
