Anybody have one foot in the Mac world? I sent .txt from my Linux<br>
machine to a Mac user running OS Sierra. Does Sierra have a text editor?<br>
It does have a script editor, but I told him to leave that alone as he<br>
might break his system. I have 10.6.8 on an older MacBook. It has both a<br>
text editor and a script editor. The text editor is in utilities on it.<br>

TextEdit (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TextEdit" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/<wbr>wiki/TextEdit</a> ) is the stock MacOS<br>
GUI-based text editor (it's been in /Applications since at least 10.5, if<br>
not before). vi/vim and emacs (GNU's) are also standard (though they<br>
nominally require using the Terminal application (in<br>
/Application/Utilities)).<br>
<br>
Have the Mac user double-click on the .txt file in the Finder; It Just<br>
Works.<br>

+1.<br>
<br>
The only two ways I can think that this wouldn't just work - if it isn't really a plaintext (or rtf) file, or if the user somehow managed to re-associate the plaintext type with the script editor.<br>
<br>
As Jeff said, just double click the file. Otherwise, the long way around is Applications > Utilities > TextEdit > File > Open > ...<br>

Yes, it does come with those tools out of the box:<br>
<br>
$ which vim emacs nano<br>
/usr/bin/vim<br>
/usr/bin/emacs<br>
/usr/bin/nano<br>
<br>
However, with only Tom's OP to go by, I'd reckon the user in question would<br>
be completely lost in a terminal.<br>

Yeah, He would be lost. OS 10.6.8 has a text editor in Utilities. Where are<br>
Utilities in OS Sierra? Is there a default word processor in Sierra? If so,<br>
I could save the document in .rtf or .odt.<br>
<br>
My apologies. I looked again. In Sierra (10.12), TextEdit is in<br>
Applications. I think it used to be in Applications > Utilities.<br>
<br>
The default word processor, if you will, is going to be TextEdit.<br>
Aforementioned caveats aside, there's no a good reason your user shouldn't<br>
just be able to double click on the file and have it open with TextEdit<br>
automagically.<br>
