Now I need help as all I want this laptop for is to edit TXT files easly.
I DO not want to be deleting char 4 char one by one.....

Please can you tell me what o/s or (nix is it?) I can use that will do this quite happly and where I can get it from...

Cheers

who?you?me?WHAT?

voidmain:
If all you want to do is edit text you don't need *NIX. Throw a copy of FREEDOS on there with a simple text editor. In fact get VIM or emacs to run on it:

Who?You?Me?WHAT?:
so bacicly its a dos program that works like notepad????

Is this correct...

if so I will be on top of the world...

Cheers

who?you?me?WHAT?

voidmain:
Well there is an editor there called notepad but I don't know if it is like the windows notepad. VIM and emacs are 10,000 times more powerful when it comes to text editing than notepad. But they are a little harder to learn. Well worth the effort though.

Who?You?Me?WHAT?:
Ok tnks for you help...

TARA...

YOU?WHO?ME?what?
