sam is by no means `like notepad'.  i've used both.  sam is the older
of the two visual editors, and the newer one, acme, includes the
more powerful features of sam (notably structural regular expressions
and the editing command structure) but is an environment
(with a significant nod to Oberon) that is closer in functionality
to emacs but with a different approach to integrating new functions
such as multi-file editing, mail, news, wiki, and other things.

it would be helpful if there were a more tutorial introduction to acme
i suppose, but have a look at the paper, not just the manual page.
similarly, what can be done with the Edit verb is probably not by
any means obvious, so it's not surprising you  concluded as you did.
