  Jed is the default editor in INX, for these reasons:
  
  * You can explore menus with your mouse, which helps to learn the key bindings.
  * It is fairly intuitive compared to vi, which is the "standard" nix editor.
  * It has pretty colours ;-)
  
  Also included is the tiny "zile" editor. Jed and zile both emulate Emacs.
  
  Recommended: If you want to learn Jed (or indeed Emacs), run the zile editor 
  and try the tutorial. The zile tutorial helps with all three.

  Vi or Vim will be on any GNU/Linux or Unix installation. 
  Knowing your way around vi is always useful.
  
  * Vim has a tutorial - just type "vimtutor" at the command line prompt.
  * Vi/Vim is a "modal" editor - this means it has a "command" mode and an "input" mode.
    You switch by hitting the <escape> key. This is explained in "vimtutor".
  * Vi/vim is very powerful - whenever you see the word "powerful" associated 
    with a *nix app, expect a long apprenticeship ;-)
