Another problem that I have found. Edit II doesn't like filename that
includes ";" in it.

On a related note, my impression on Edit II is that Edit II is a
RAM-based text editor. While I love the simplicity of Edit II, I need a
disk-based text editor in order to deal with some of the very large text
files. Of course, I can use Word 4.0, but I'd rather not deal with word
processors in this case. So my question is, are there any disk-based
text editor that resembles Edit II? I want it to be applications (so
McSink is out) and I want it to be freeware/shareware (so Qued/M is
out).
