    vi is most universal - it's on every unix machine, and the syntax is exatly the same. the only problem is by the time you've mastered VI, you're a 50 year old fat unix admin with long hair and a grey beard. you'll be drinking 18 cups of coffee before lunch, and get excited talking about Charles Babbage

    if a machine has emac, that's my personal preference, because it does everything short of brewing coffee

    stay away from pico - it's an email editor NOT a full-featured text editor.
