If you are not going to use Emacs, If you are not going to use vi (VIM), If you are not going to use even RHIDE, At least do yourself a favor, and use PFE32, Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned MS Write, Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned MS Notepad, Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned Boxer (spawn your compile from it), Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned Brief, Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned PC-Edit (from the PC Megazine Mega Pack), Which is the editor I learned, After I tried and abandoned DOS Edit, Which is the editor I learned, After I was forced to use a PC. Before which I used UNIX, Where I learned vi and Emacs. Guess which learning effort payed off? -- Weiqi Gao weiqigao AT a DOT crl DOT com
