[mythtv-users] OFF TOPIC: Text Editor(s) ?

[David Coburn]

As  you can tell, you've opened a can of worms.  Like they said, it was
probably vi.  I learned vi many years ago when I first started working with
Unix.  I went to a lot of customer sites, and it was the only reasonable
editor you could guarantee finding.  Today you could get by just learning
emacs, I suspect, but vi is still my favorite.  Here's what looks to be an
OK source for learning it: http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html.
