A short survey of VI, EMACS and INed showed that there is still a need for a text editor that can use the window system in an effective and user friendly manner. Does anybody know of a mouse-and-menu driven editor, either commercial or public domain ? ------- Drora Cohen Computer Center Bar-Ilan university Ramat-Gan, Israel

I've been searching for such an editor, also. XEDIT from X11R3 is ok, but sort of buggy. XEDIT from X11R4 is better, but I still haven't figured out how to cut a block of text (marking and copying is easy). I've been complaining to IBM about this as well. I am sort of uncomfortable, however, with paying $1K per copy for a version of EDT. I guess we have to be patient.
