Actually, I wrote that paper (in particular: Richard Stallman wrote
many other things).  It was included in the Mince manual (that is the
CP/M editor).  It is available from:

	Laboratory for Computer Science Reading Room
	Massachusetts Institute of Technology
	77 Massachusetts Ave
	Cambridge MA  02139
	USA

	+1 617 253 1000 (MIT information: I don't have the LCS RR number)

It is Technical Memo 165.  I don't know whether they charge.

I am also in the process of turning that paper into a book (actually,
almost done: final copy is due in mid-February).  We are shooting for
a September publication date.  Consult the usual sources for details.
