Of course! Use SED, the only superfast editor that runs on all terminals
we have (by the way, ONLY ours), adapts the keyboards to have optimal
function keys, has non-working ultrahistoric audio tape save commands,
and several bugs that are left in because they are so useful as a feature.
It is the fastest and handiest editor I've ever used in CP/M.
If you want to have it, I advise you to borrow the author with it, and
he can (but doesn't like to) adapt the editor to you personal needs.
By the way, we also have the program RECOVER that recovers a lost file
from memory if the editor unexpectedly quits (in our multi-user CP/M, this
can be done with a keypress... beware!).
