Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at the vilemenu.rc and see what
i can deduce.
I thought i'd try Vile/Xvile as i find Vim and Emacs rather heavy for
my uses. Essentially i use a text editor for writing rather than
programming so my requirements are for something less demanding to
learn. So my requirements are different from many users.
