How does that follow?  This is an editor for use by the users for posting
messages who use ProTERM Special Emulation.

Even here you just said ProTERM was not a requirement.  Also you show your
ignorance of FreeWriter.  It has 80 columns.  One can also edit ACOS files
within the system, using the built-in line editor and some code.
