One of my colleagues had a similar problem using Nedit linked to
lesstif on RedHat 5.2. Updating to a more recent version of Lesstif
fixed most of his problems.  There have been problems with Nedit and
Lesstif most of these have (I think) been ironed out with the latest
releases of Lesstif.  Most of the problems appear to relate to hot key
use.  I have used the static linked binary of Nedit from the Nedit site
under SUSE 5.2 as well as a dynamically linked version (not to lesstif
though)  I tend to worry a lot about losing my edits and hence use
Ctl-S frequently (its a bit of a hangover from my Windows days :-) ).
