Re: Is there a way to do this?

Only "REALMEN" use "vi"; most powerful text editor around.
"Emacs" and "Pico" are for SISSIES :-P

Want to use a texteditor with challenge, try using "ed" sometime, kinda like trying to drive on the highway with your eyes closed |-)

Eeeek vi!,Do not join his lemur evil cult!
If you have not yet discoved nano, let me suggest it, it's small, text
based, and very not insane.
I use it for most things like that.

I don't use emacs at all so I can't respond directly about this.  How
about using vi in the ssh session?  Its simple textonly.  Thats what I use.
