Didn't download emacs or vi, just don't like to perturb my
working system by loading it up too much more than
necessary.
Someone mentioned using

After downloading the non .dll version which was only
261KB, program works great, is one step above notepad, and
now I don't really need much more editing power.
Also, edits .lua scripts I use elsewhere.
