Maybe not, but IMO, it's best not to assume too much knowledge. If it
were me, I'd simply suggest that the OP use their favorite non-GUI text
editor and leave it at that unless they ask for suggestions.
As I've mentioned other times, I also infest
fedoraforum.org. I've seen
posters go the extra mile by posting step-by-step instructions how to
use vi to make an edit, just to be sure. Of course, that's on a
website, where people can simply ignore the parts that don't interest
them. Here on a mailing list, it's a tad less convenient, and I
wouldn't expect it. (Hell, I didn't really expect it there, either.)
