[Glastonbury] Recommendations for to-do list apps?

[Cherry Mulliss]

Hi Guys

I rather like vi too. I think its advantage is that it seems to be 
available on just about any nix installation, where emacs or others may 
not have been installed - this can be VERY useful! BTW,  There are 
various jokes about vi, including its being the text editor from hell, 
and  vivivi the mark of the beast ....

Must admit though, that vi always puts me in mind of Edlin, remember 
that? There is a guy somewhere on the web, who has composed a whole 
website using Edlin, dont know if anyone wants to try the same with vi <G>.

Regards

Cherry
