Linux question, GUI "lightweight" text editors

[lowell at kc.rr.com]

Way back when this thread started, I tried to ask this question, but 
the reply only went to the sender, so I'll try again: One of the 
desired features of the windows editor in question was column editing; 
does anybody know if vim has this capability and, if so, how to call it?
