:numerous comments deleted (mostly my own), and other junk too!:

Not to continue this subject :-> but I was attempting to show that an
editor is really something you grow into, From vi, the c64, appleII line
editors, emacs.

Personally I love vi cause I have got it everywhere, unix, pc, and amiga.
I hate TruboC's editors, and emacs too big for my taste.

Well, Z does seem to have some of the : arguments missing, I miss it when
I wanna shift some code over. Will have to see about Stevie.

I never take anything from a computer seriously, I am a programmer.
