Here are some applications that may help you edit text files:

* vim -- a programmer's text editor that relies on you knowing a certain amount of arcane stuff
* nano -- probably one of the easiest to use for people new to editing text files under linux
* emacs -- a programmer's text editor with tons of features

There's an ongoing religious war between vim and emacs users.
