Yes, I guess I should have weighted the volitility of my question :-).  I
will tell everyone right now that I have tried to use vi and I don't like it
(please don't burn down my house).  I was thinking about editors that did
text highlighting and the like for program code without having to use an
IDE. remember I am a programming newbie so be lienient if my terms or
questions seem incorrect.  Thank you.

doing java right now) better.  I am not interested in any IDE's at the
moment because I want my learning experience to be very raw, if that makes
any sense.  Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
