Equivalent text editor to MS-DOS Editor
While I respect the power and flexibility of emacs, vim, etc, I miss MS-DOS Editor.
It's very simple to use, has a nice color display and a menu system which, if I remember correctly, you could navigate with the arrow keys. It's very straightforward and user friendly.
Is there an equivalent in Ubuntu?

Find and replace:
Nano (Installed by default)
nano is a GPL Licensed curses-based text editor for Unix and Unix-like systems.
MCEdit
You can try mcedit
, it looks a lot like MS-DOS Edit.
I dont remember if it comes with ubuntu, probably you have to install mc
(midnight commander)

Another choice, available in the repos, powerful and more close to Borland's compilers editor, is the editor fte
.
Available in the following versions:
- xwindows, command
xfte
, packagefte-xwindow
; - terminal, command
sfte
, packagefte-terminal
; - console, command
vfte
, packagefte-console
.
A screenshot:
sudo apt-get install fp-ide
and run:
fp file.txt
100% like "edit" in MsDos. It is IDE fo freepascal but it can edit text files.
- multiple windows
- save last session
- gcalctour
- ascii table
- grep
- undo redo
- find and replace
- Console Mouse Support (install gpm) ...and more
