An m-file is just a text file so you can edit it with any text
editor.  If you don't yet have a favorite, there are many to
experiment with.  gedit or kate are easy to use.  At the shell
try,

  gedit test.m

or

  kate test.m

where test.m is your m-file.  If these programs are not
installed, you can install them with Debian's apt-get

  apt-get update; apt-get install gedit kate

If you want to remain in the shell when editing your m-file, you
can try Emacs or vim or any of the other terminal-based text
editors.
