If I have a share connected that will allow me to do the editting from a
PC, then I use the freeware 'pfe' editor which correctly handles the
end of record terminator issues.  Otherwise, I use 'vi'.  vi works fine
once you get use to it, but there is a "slight" :) learning curve there.

Subject:        [HP3000-L] Samba/iX -- Editting smb.conf

How do most people edit the smb.conf, and other such files, on the HP 3000?
I can never get vi to work, so I usually ftp to a PC then ftp back after
changes. I have also discovered that QEDIT allows editting of hfs file
names, but all sites don't have QEDIT.
