OT console based editor that can do php syntax highlighting

[Simon Griffiths]

Thanks for the tip Sean.  

It was mentioned that I could use joe and part of the /usr/ports/editors/joe
build there is jpico which emulates the shortcuts im so used to in pico and
nano.  I think joe works great for me.

Cheers,

Si.
