I proposed moving it to app-editors as I do use it manually to edit files. It's very nice when you have a strange terminal (SSH over wireless from my Handspring Visor is the current main location, simply because the environment has NO control keys of any sort, no Escape, no Ctrl, no Alt, no Meta...). It wouldn't surprise me if it's a popular editor for braille terminals either. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQFCJH40snuUTjSIToURAkfZAJ9tMjAoR9aoc9NPFsUDWFwDTUWzMgCfXHHw //7tPxu3oqJDWRdU7sk05UY= =GuSs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
