Ted

Ted is a powerful and versatile editor. In addition to standard editing commands such as add, delete, and move for individual characters, lines of text or blocks of text, Ted has commands for sorting lines of text, converting case of text, searching for text strings and for programming sequences of commands to repeat automatically.

Ted can work with as many as four different files simultaneously, allowing rapid movement of text between files or allowing you to view one file while editing another.
