Thanks to those that suggested "sc". It however does not appear to be supported or developed any longer and there are no SUSE packages for it. I could compile it but ultimately I need something that will work in production so I'd rather avoid that.
Stuart suggested vi or emacs but I could not get either of them to display tabs in columns.
I also tried 'joe', and 'nano'. No luck.
