Norton Commander had a built in editor before OS/2 & Windows gave PC users a
GUI to use, so that must be when I picked up the habit of using only OFM
editors for plain text file editing. I was also using Xenix and writing
scripts back then, but can't remember whether those Altos Xenix machines
provided something besides vi & ex that I used instead, but they didn't have
Midnight Commander, which I use for about 99% of editing on Linux now.
Editing on OS/2 & Windows I use FC/2 & FC/W, whose editor I like better than
MC's. If FC/Linux had an ncurses version I'd be using it on Linux as well,
but so far it requires X, which kills several OFM hotkeys I use routinely.
