SYMLINK

[Jean-Paul Natola]

You create this link (presuming all dirs exist).
  'ln -s /some/other/dir/goodstuff /stuff'

Then do 'cd /stuff'  
...textfile

You can use any text editor you like if vi is not to your taste 
(though you should at least learn how to use vi since it is so omnipresent
 in the UNIX world)

Welcome to FreeBSD.
It will take some learning, but be worth it, even in the
short run.

I'm pretty comfortable with ee  , it *seems* easier to me-

But I will dabble with vi,  I do however, remember  when I took a free
elective back in '99 (unix system V) we played with vi
