[Discussion] [Linux] Starting the move to MAC

You're correct that I didn't hear about LxPM. I did use and like IBM's 
LPEX on OS/2. I googled "LxPM" but got nowhere and presume there is no 
version of it available for OS-X. I googled LPEX and got somewhere but 
no hint of a version for Mac or Linux. CTC's SPF/SE which I used is 
available only for M$Win (per their web site).

So far my Mac editor of choice is BBEdit. But sometimes I need those 
"old fashioned" line and block commands.
