Greg, I know, you're being sarcastic, I reply anyway. I'd say few, except for a couple of Linux based clients perhaps. You'd probably have to use telnet directly to the MUD if you actually wanted this to work the way you want it to. For instance, it would not work if you had a command line in your client, and your client might trap certain key combinations (like esc m for menu or f10 or whatever), and so forth and so on, ad nauseum. Although, if you had a menu driven interface (like Jed) for all the editors, perhaps then the whole "wedit" idea can come into effect, where you could chose and editor in the menu, and so forth and so on.
