as i recall, some folks around these parts are fond of midnight commander (or `mc` for short) as a file manager/text editor combo. tip: when using 'mc' via remote access (ssh, for example) you may not be able to get your keyboard to send 'fkey' sequences properly. to get "f10" you can do "ESC-ZERO" as a handy workaround... i use vi (elvis) myself.
