It too bad there isn't a way to throw stuff via a mail list;  someone
should come up with a SMTP+Rotten_Fruit extenstion.

IBM documentation always refers to using VI;  doesn't that settle it?
Seems cannonical to me - VI is the superior choice.  Emacs is for
pot-smoking free-love anti-hygene hippies!!!

Probably right;  and even I spend more time in gedit these days than VI.
That whole cut-n-paste thing is pretty cool.
