	My recommendation would be to learn either vim or emacs. However,
to tide you over in your short term hacking frenzies, search the net for a
utility called "xwpe". It's got a very Borland'ish look and feel and
offers spiffy features like pulling up man pages for whatever function
your cursor is currently over on "F1", color syntax highlighting, and so
forth.


	...I'm serious about the vi / emacs part though. Take the time to
learn one or the other. The longer you continue running Unix, the more you
will realize how these two packages are very nicely integrated for the
environment. (I especially like emacs' feature of being able to do CVS
checkins, checkouts and so forth).
