 The editor/IDE that comes with FreePascal that Gene B pointed me to

 Yes, I vaguely remember that. MICROS~1's "Quick" language products
 had a very similar one, too - including QBASIC, which was actually
 the basis of the original MS-DOS full-screen editor.
 The TurboVision look& ?feel is the basis of SETedit. Not sure if the
 Linux version was reverse-engineered or what.

 EDIT.EXE, except it has a lot of customization options. 
Does it? I did not know that. I thought it was a ripoff *cough* I mean
/loving tribute to/ the Norton Commander, which frankly I never had
any use for on DOS. I must reevaluate it, then. Norton's text-mode UI
was totally different, AIR.
  ?mc is a damn fine file manager too. ?:) 
I am sure you're right. Even my *minimal* competence with cp, mv and
rm usually extends far enough for what I really need on xNix, though!
