Thanks for the swift reply - let me add that they are running KDE, not Gnome. Also, he has trouble using a mouse, always has. Ideal would be something that can be driven entirely, and obviously, from the keyboard.

I'll investigate Mousepad.

nano is simple enough, if it has to be all keyboard i guess it works fine for that.
