MPW's editor is really unfortunate in two respects:

    The window doesn't scroll horizontally to follow the insert point.
    Holding down shift and using the arrow keys doesn't select any
    	text.

The first bug is especially lame in that the window _does_ follow the
insertion point _vertically_!

Both of these are really annoying, especially for someone used to
WriteNow which does all of this stuff _properly_.

Any idea if any new version of the Shell that would support these two
little but important features is forthcoming?
