It's a program you use to create and edit text files.  Sort of
like "edit" or "edlin" from DOS, or Notepad under Windows.

Have I just been trolled?

I used to volunteer at the public library teaching people off
the street to run Netscape.  There are no longer any computer
related questions that surprise me.  I was showing one guy how
the mouse worked -- I rolled the mouse up-and-down on the desk
and showed him how the arrow on the screen moved up-and-down
along with it.

He tried it, and commented that it was pretty neat.  Then he
asked "how you do you make it move sideways?"

Sitting there watching people type was torture.
