A unit editor is essential to help us to work with program source files.

In the unix world, a file is a file and can be opened with a good editor. There's no such thing as a (dot).doc file to be opened with a certain sofware or .txt with another software. In fact when we create and save a file, there's no need to have a (dot). file extension or if we wish we can put our own (dot).[myname] eg. a file name like resume.mary

With the unix editor, the display of the source codes will be properly formatted, easy to read and with lines, columns numbers ot identify the codes.

In Drupal, we work with (dot).mysql, (dot).install, (dot).po, (dot).php plus others - just use Gvim to open, view, edit any of these files.

Go to vim.org and download Gvim70.exe for Windows, click the exe file and follow instructions.
