unless you're on Windows, where edlin is the true standard editor. as you can see, Microsoft's usability team has made some massive improvements (note how well it deals with the "eat flaming death" command): C:\> edlin Filename missing. C:\> edlin spam New file. *help Syntax error. *quit Do you want to abort (Yes=Y, No=N)? n Syntax error. *exit C:\>edlin spam End of input file. *hello? Syntax error. *eat flaming death C:\>edlin foo End of input file. *^C *^C *^D Syntax error. *^Z Syntax error. *^C *^C -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
