Yet even sendmail.org doesn't recommend messing with the .cf file, wanting
you to use the sendmail.mc file - not that it's a whole lot easier to
understand.

or 'echo' ;-)

The problem with "real editors" other than "/bin/vi" (which given the
license problems is often a link to or a subset of a vi clone) is that they
are often not available when you need them. Yes, you should also have the
even more "user unfriendly" /bin/ed, and most vi users know enough of the
commands to get ed to do something useful. :wq!
