Yep, know that program, and used to use it... though back then, my editor of
choice was one called 'm'.. by Microsoft, for programmers.. now the one thing
most like it is probably vi under linux..

One of the editors I use lets you cut and paste and edit in columns.. Very neat
editor... I can call the sort program from within it, as well.

This one is joe - it's a bit less intense than either m (DOS) or vi (linux)...
for linux, of course. I should probably continue the Linux tutorial stuff in
fidonews.. there's so much people aren't aware of. Granted right now it may
just be a big bore to some people, but at least it is there in the issues,
should someone decided to have a go at it.

Take care,
Janis
