No it's not, it's "Oak Hill Vi", one of many vi clones I more or less grabbed randomly. Is vim share/freeware?

Actually, I'm starting to like it. It was a MAJOR pain to get used to it at first. Having to go into "input mode" just to type something took forever to remember to do. But it seems nifty, and there's a ton of neat things I see from looking through the documentation.

However, I tried Windows' Notepad, and it seemed to work very well. It doesn't do any auto-wrapping, and it preserves tab characters. That makes it just right for AGLL coding.

Well, Notepad I have mixed feelings about. It doesn't like large files, and I hate the way it looks. I may end up using that, but right now I'm having fun just messing with vi. Anyway, I'm not really at the stage of writing code yet, so it's a moot point.

Yeah, I think I've seen it before, it seemed pretty good as well. But the thrill of learning some supposedly really cool text editor is too much to resist...
