No, it means that if you want to edit a text file (unicode text in this case), then a text editor is more comfortable than "cat". If you want to use "cat" then you will only be able to use the input method provided by X and the terminal you're using. With yudit the input methods are very configurable, you can use "u1234" for a unicode character by number, use SGML entities, digraphs, whatever. But by all means, try them all out. I just thought the 9* commands felt "strange". -- The idea is that the first face shown to people is one they can readily accept - a more traditional logo.
