Oh cool! I knew the editor but not the connection. Thanks!

FWIW there is a great free Linux text editor called Tilde that I like.
It's basically the same UI as later-era DOS editors, so you can use
the same keystrokes. Ctrl+O to open, Ctrl+S to save, etc. I find it
easier than Pico, Nano, Joe etc.

It's in the repos for openSUSE and Ubuntu and can easily be installed
on other distros.
