Oh, you've sure pushed on of *my* favorite buttons!

A really GOOD editor....what I wouldn't give for an online editor similar to
"QuickEd" by the Dirosh brothers (used on my favorite local systems running
QuickBBS software)! Cursor in all directions, insert and delete single character
if need be, quote only one line at a time, as chosen by you with a single
keystroke. Runs a lot like a good wordprocessor except no spellcheck... All
single keystroke or slightly shifted single character commands. Comes online
automatically as soon as you hit "r", and waits to be commanded. Lovely!

Quick, easy, uncomplicated, handy...no leaving the reading function to do
serious editting. (And, thusly, no one quoting entire articles when they only
wanted 2 sentences....except for a few regular unix users who can't seem to
break the "quote it all" syndrome... ;-)

(Hi Shad...! :-)

user...
