I don't want to start any religious wars, but what editor do you use
with DecWindows?

I've been looking at DecStations with a view to purchase and can't find
a window-based editor.  Our local DEC sales people tell me they use
"vi" in a dxterm window if they're using an Ultrix workstation.  This
is not a window-based editor though.  That would be one which allows
mouse interaction for positioning the cursor, cut and paste etc.
Have I missed some DecWindows utility?  (We don't have any
documentation, of course).  Isn't there anything that's similar to
Sun's textedit in it or in the Public Domain.  How well does the X
version of GNU emacs work under DecWindows?  Can you cut, paste &
position with the mouse in that?
