Editing Shell Script
Hi

I'm a newbie, but I understand that there's some space difference between unix and the pc, which is why I can't write shell script on my pc but I can view it using notepad, wordpad, etc.

Is there any program I can use that will let me view the shell script and edit it without screwing up the script so that it's not readable in unix anymore?
