Choose Your Weapon

Well this has been a little more difficult!

Previously I have used TextEdit which is functional, if basic. And it seems I do have VIM but, as a complete novice, I haven't got a clue how to use it.

My principle on this journey is to explore free education but although the Text Editors suggested on P2PU have free downloads, they are not open source.

So I searched for free text editors, and having looked at the recommendations, I decided to try Text Wrangler. I downloaded it from CNET as it said it would work on my OS (Mac OSX 10.4), but the install screen warned that it doesn't.

I have just found an unsupported earlier version which is said to work on my system - I'll give it a go!
