Hi,

Newby again :-)

I hope I won't offend anyone (probably too late) but I never got used
to vi and without joe's editor, I am lost. I am sure I can install the
sources and recompile, but if there was a ready-to-use installation of
joe's editor, or any other "Wordstar-like" editor for Ubuntu
(preferably one that works well through ssh, I use TeraTermPro to get
to the Linux box from the Windowsu*ks desktop) , that would be great.

Thanks

Didier

sudo apt-get install joe

Worked for me.

It appears that the joe packages have been moved to a special
depository and you need to get that in your system. I am a joe user too
and it is a wonderful editor.

I learned you can use gedit from the command line. It is an easy
editor and if you start it with sudo gedit filename it will edit root files.
