Well, I don't know what is good on OS-X, but if I may still recommend
a terminal editor, then "vi" as was mentioned is available on *every*
decent Unix-like system. It's a bit tricky to use, though, to say the
least.
But I can give detailed instructions provided vi on OS-X behaves as it
does everywhere else.
* Open a Terminal
* type:
vi ~/.pdrc
* you'll see a lot of "~" signs, don't worry:
vi is in the normal mode now where every key is a command. A ~
represents a non-existing line, which you have plenty of as ~/.pdrc
is still empty.
* now type:
i
* now vi is in in "i"nsert mode and you can edit the text as usual.
* to save, first press "Escape" to get back to normal mode
* type:
:w
to save
* type:
:q
to quit.
A nicer, graphical vi with menus and all is Vim from www.vim.org
All my mails are written with Vim.
Ciao
