an editor that doesn't require any esc or control keys to be used...

Fri Aug 16 16:36:25 EDT 2002

I tried a number of things, and after playing around with the AS/400 telnet
system I discovered a way to send a limited set of control or escape
sequences.  You have to tell telnet that when it recieves an F5 to send esc
to the remote system.  As a result I've gotten some functionality working,
but it's still a _very_ painfull process.    So far vi has been the most
usable, but even that is hobbled by the AS/400 terminal.
