If there is a port of GNU Emacs, that would be even better :-) Unfortunately, there is no port of GNU Emacs that I know of right now. In fact, I don't think it will be worth it until OS/2 2.0, when memory addressing problems and size constraints will go away, and the OS will be written in 386 code -- GNU Emacs needs to access a lot of memory. However, I presently am using Epsilon 4.0 from Lugaru Software, Inc., and I am very happy with it -- its macro language is *just like* C, which makes writing new commands really easy. Check it out.
