Has anyone written or come across a public domain full-screen editor for Unix? It would be nice to have something that novice users could work with. Basically, they would type, move around with arrow keys, and delete. Fancy things like cut and paste would be the cherry on the cake. If anything is available by anonymous ftp, please email the address. Thanks. --- Russell Mosemann Internet: mosemann@crcvms.unl.edu Network Analyst Bitnet: mosemann@unlvax1 Computing Resource Center UUCP: ...!uunet!hoss.unl.edu!mosemann University of Nebraska - Lincoln and a few other places, too.

Try GNU Emacs and 'enhance' it via the .emacs files to use cursor keys on your terminals. > If anything is available by anonymous ftp, please email the address. >Thanks.

And I'm sure someone will suggest one of the emacs variants. Dan

Try GNU Emacs and 'enhance' it via the .emacs files to use cursor keys on your terminals. GNU Emacs isn't in the public domain, but it's free. There are several PD Emacs implementations, and a few other editors that have appeared in comp.sources.{unix,misc} over the years. Browse through the archives on uunet.uu.net. If anything is available by anonymous ftp, please email the address. plethora.media.mit.edu <18.85.1.50> is a good place to start. I can't tell what it is that's on plethora (perhaps some NeXT stuff?), but the FSF developers have always released their software on prep.ai.mit.edu. If you're looking for Emacs, get a copy of prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/emacs-18.55.tar.Z.
