| A good line to have in your /usr/share/init/tcsh/aliases is: alias bb 'open -a "/Volumes/app/BBEdit 6.0 Folder/BBEdit 6.0/BBEdit 6.1 for OS X"' (substitute your own BBEdit path) Then you can edit text files with the command "bb filename" from Terminal. Sure beats vi. NB! If you have started BBEdit earlier you might have to Quit to make sure it starts as the current user (if you have su'd to root in Terminal for example) otherwise you may not have r/w privileges.

| BBEdit is a GUI not a CLI program  (at least I think that is the case in OS X as well) In the CLI I prefer EMACS Admiral

| Well, to GUI or not to GUI... :-) Of course BBEdit is a GUI program, but thats kind of the point. But when you start it from the CLI, is it still 100% a GUI ?? :-) I prefer BBEdit over emacs for 90% of the work i do. Kind of nice to write "bb fancy.pl" , edit the file, save , quit, rather than all the ESC-Ctrl stuff that I never seem to remember... But then again, who am I to judge... "Only pawn in game of life" :-)

| Why not GUI from the terminal? Part of the reason for using OS X is the Mac GUI support on top of UNIX, and the ability to run Mac applications. If I wanted to stay at the command line and run vi or emacs, I could stick with FreeBSD or Linux. Since I have a Mac with Mac applications like BBEDit, why not use them? I use BBEdit from the command line, and think it works great. |

| Run BBEit as "root" One of the things you can do from the command line is to run things as root. So not only can you launch BBEdit, but then BBEdit will have full access to read/write to the entire file system. To do this use the same comman as above, but do it logged into the Termainal as root... root# open '/Volumes/[drive]/[path to BBEdit]/BBEdit 6.1 for OS X/BBEdit 6.1.2 for OS X'

| pico! I find myself (dont hit me) more of a pico person. I'm acquinted with VI, but I find it annoying. As for a gui solution, I find OSX textedit quite good. :] Used BBedit on OS9 and earlier. For some reason I didnt really like it. Maybe because it was an overpriced text editor. :X Simpletext was good enough for me! :X  |

| Try that with SimpleText I was hooked on BBEdit the first time I did a complex Regular Expression Search/Replace on 100's of files... in many nested sub-directories... filtered by filename. I've never used anything but BBEdit since. Plus all of the commands are mappable to keys... and it is a breeze to save files to Unix/NT/MacOS all with the correct line breaks. About a year after I started using it they added the ability to open files directly over an FTP connection. All of the other Mac and Windows text editors have been copying this feature ever since. (Dreamweaver probably does this feature best...) Yeah... vi! I've used it, but never with my vi mug too far away...
