I tried installing Quanta and it yells at me and asked if I have KDE 
installed properly.  Ubuntu doesn't come with KDE at all, otherwise 
maybe it would allow me to install it.  Maybe I will try an older 
version that doesn't seem to be KDE specific.  I think it would be 
rewarding to figure out the folding in Vim since I can use it for my 
remote SSH sessions as well, but not having a lot of luck with that 
either.  I got the indent method to work just fine, but syntax doesn't 
do a thing.  Lots and lots of brain hurting RTFM and I'm sure I'll get 
somewhere with it.  A nice gui would be great for now though.
