I love VIM myself, though I have to admit sometimes it's easier to use
notepad.
If you're familiar with MS Edit then you should have no problems with nano
or pico. I've been noticing these two are being phased out, but you should
still be able to get one or the other.

Thanks for the reply,
I did check out the image but (from memory) the HD was very small and
there was no GUI and not much else. Being a newbie and coming from
windows a GUI and GUI based text editor was important. I realize for an
experienced Linux sysadmin they are superfluous but pretty much
essential for me.
Yes sharing the folder and using a windows machine to edit the files is
ugly and fraught with danger in not getting the LF/CR bit right. Any GUI
text editor I have tried meets the criteria of "easy to use". Sorry VI
whilst very powerful doesn't (IMHO).
Regards
Graeme

The next best thing to a windows port would be a MS and/or VMWare
virtual server image with everything needed, loaded and going
including
a GUI and a easy to use GUI text editor.
There is a VMware image on the Hobbit sourceforge page. I suppose it
could easily be enhanced so the Hobbit configuration file directory was
exported as a Windows fileshare, then you can edit the config files with
notepad.exe <yuk...>
