WordGrinder: Word Processing Terminal Style
Productivity Sauce
You may think that word processing is all about WYSIWYG and GUI, but WordGrinder is living proof that a word processor that runs in a terminal does make sense. Thanks to its small and efficient code base containing only 6300 lines of code, WordGrinder will happily run on older machines, and you can even use it on GUI-less setups.
Despite being a terminal-based application, WordGrinder provides a menu system activated with the Esc key. Users who prefer to control applications via the keyboard will be pleased to learn that WordGrinder provides keyboard shortcuts for virtually every command and action. Better yet, you can reconfigure the default keyboard shortcuts to suit your needs. When it comes to word processing features, WordGrinder doesn't disappoint. It supports basic text and paragraph styles, it offers a search and replace feature, and it can handle multiple documents in a single file. There is also the mandatory word count feature and the handy Scrapbook that you can use to store text snippets. WordGrinder also lets you import and export documents in the HTML format as well as save them in the LaTex and Troff formats.
Obviously, WordGrinder won't replace OpenOffice Writer or even AbiWord, but if you are looking for a simple and efficient word processor for drafting articles and jotting down ideas, WordGrinder fits the bill quite nicely.
The Missing Link
Even under lynx, the "link" is still visible as a link.
Getting the internet.
Who doesn't get the Internet :^)
that their firewall or something else is refusing to open
the link. It works fine for me on Fedora 10/Firefox.

Evidence of failure to "get" the internet
Evidence that the author must work for a dead tree newspaper, because they clearly do not "get" the internet.
