I believe a hex editor allows you to edit complied code. If you look at it in a hex editor it basically looks like a huge spreadsheet with tons of hex numbers. Basically hex stands for hexadecimal, which you can look up. Beyond my knowledge but people use it for exactly what Busy mentioned.
I'm not sure what type of hex editor toneatlas is looking for. There are also HTML color editors. Obviously we use hex code for our color types (i.e. #FFFFFF). There are a bunch of hex color editors as well. Give tucows.com a try. They have a bunch of both types. Some of which are FREE.

I know what people use hex editors for. I'm just not sure what quallifies for one. (After all, you can through anything into notepad. But it doesn't stick to the 16 characters used in hex.)
I've thought about taking a course in hex programming, is it worth it? Where would you use it?

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.
Hex Edit Pro was a good one in the past. They are somewhat out of fashion nowadays. It is shareware and can be purchased for $25.
