in sbbs.ini works fine for me. You'll want to make sure you install

Thanks

Trying it now...
Thanks. I have a lot of sysadmin friends,who will feel at home with
this editor.

Edited with nano! Great. Although, I prefer another editor that I will have to try. LOL

I never liked nano/pico for editing config files, but it brings back
fond memories of when my interation with the web was a shell account
with email, news, gopher and the occasional web site with Lynx.
It's great for long-form posting in any one of those forums. Fora?

You know, that's probably the best way I've seen it described yet. :)
I love nano, and use it as my *only* Linux editor. However, I don't
really have any place (or a care in the world, really) saying it's any better than any other editor out there.
Use what you want! That's why there's a bunch of different options out there!

also, if you're setting up vi(m), users can drop to a shell with it, (in more than one way)

Yep, perfect. Although I think the number of emacs users out in the
wild is dwindling fast.
Same here, I use it for 90% of what I write (including this message). I
do sometimes use a GUI editor (either Mousepad or Featherpad) too. Also
I sometimes use vim to edit Synchronet files, as vim can insert Ctrl-A codes and I don't know of any other that can. If you care to do that,
you just do a Ctrl-V and then a Ctrl-A, and the Ctrl-A is inserted,
looks like a carat ("^"). I find it useful for quick and dirty edits.
That's what rvim is for, restricts the ability to run shell commands or suspend vim.
Symlinking vim to rvim, if it doesn't exist, should enable the 'restricted' functionality.

Probably. I just checked to see if it was available via my package
manager and it listed 74 dependencies to install alongside it. No
thanks!
Does emacs require a window manager? From all the dependencies as well
as screenshots on Wikipedia, it seems like it does.

That's good to know. I usually just get frustrated trying to remember
if I'm in read mode or edit mode (usually read mode, because when I try
to type anything it doesn't work, lol).
With nano, I've just gotten used to copying an existing CTRL-A code and pasting it wherever I want to put a new one. Then again, I try to do
most of the work before I convert, and sometimes convert it back to
ANSI to do my edits, so it's not very often.

ACK. I've gotten into the habit of remembering this: I just press "i" immediately upon opening vim, to put me in "insert" mode. Now you're
ready to actually do something. :-)
The technique I mentioned above is when I might want to change only a
line or two, or a color, in an existing .asc/.msg file.

I installed it out of curiosity. I may actually be able to use it with "vim -y" which puts it in "easy mode" or modeless. Straight to insert mode, no using read mode, no collecting 200 headaches. :)
Also, unlike vi there's no squiggly lines at the beginning of every
line. So it actually *looks* like an editor! Also, in easy mode (I
don't know if it ever worked in the normal mode, CTRL-Q prompts you to save before .. EXITING! ":q" and ":q!" is a stupid way to exit .. anything.

line or two, or a color, in an existing .asc/.msg file.
Yep, I've definitely done that before, too. That's where I just copy
the CTRL-A code once, then I can right click/paste it wherever I need
it.
I've kept vim installed, maybe I'll play with it a bit more before realizing nano is so much easier. lol
No argument about that "syntax". I have additional muscle memory where
I just press " ESC : wq " and it saves and exits. That's engrained in
my brain and can't risk trying to change as it may get flushed. hahaha

I originally learned to press Ctrl-[ on a terminal without an escape
key back in 1990. I still have this muscle memory when using vi/vim to this day. And it's quicker thatn reaching for the (far away) ESC key anyway! :-)

Yep, I remember the old shell account. pine and tin both used nano as their default editor. I sometimes miss having such an account.

If I had a screen multiplexer like tmux back then, I would have kept a shell account a lot longer. To be able to have separate windows with
mail, a shell for regular work, one for news, another with Lynx - that would have been nice.

Yeah, but I didn't know about screen back then. :|
