EDLIN is horrible, but don't get rid of it!  It's still great for
editing 5 line files and the such.  The other thing that is great about
it is I can go anywhere, on anybodies pc, and if I have to edit
something small, I KNOW I can use EDLIN. Its simple and quick.  We do
need a new standard "real "editor also--I think this was the main point--to be
included in the standard operating system.

My two cents worth...
