Vi! (Vi!, Vi!)
What about Vi!?
You can get Vi for almost all platforms (iv'e even got
a version for my dads Psion...;).
It is only a text editor (i find emacs could do practically
anything these days - making it a bit cumbersome)
And its really nice and easy to use. Well, ok, its a bit
crypic to start off with, but well worth it...
Anyway,
have fun,
