Re: [BLUG] C/C++

But if you want to tackle a phobia of command-line text editors, then
there'd be no way of completely destroying it and putting it to rest
like figuring out vi. I've gone through the tutorials that Mark talked
about on Tuesday, vimtutor and vilearn. They're actually really well
laid out. Of course depending on whether you have time and whether
it's a priority for you, you could give them a shot. Emacs also has a
really good tutorial which is available in the help menu or by
control-h t.
