# yum install emacs

There is vi, it might be installed by default.

You may also have kedit if you use KDE, or gedit if you use GNOME.  You have many choices.

If you install emacs, then you would have to play around with it so that it can do what you want.  I have used it sparingly.  I prefer to use kedit or gedit as they are easier to work with.  I have used vi a little bit more, but I am not an expert :(
