Yeah, I bet. I guess there are *tons* of editors out there that do the job, or
can me made to do it.

Had to learn how to exit vi several years ago, and used emacs as well, but...
you know, I'm really not a Linux jockey, so I bet *any* typical Linux tool is
*not* what I want.

I'm happy with a bit of shell scripting, getting POV to utilize all four cores,
and knowing how to compile POV beta to regression-test my code changes. That,
plus maybe a few tools so that I can do quick changes to POV scenes on the
Linux machine directly.
