My opinion of the OS-9 default editor is that it's a combination
of the WORST of ED and TECO.  I also found the command set to be
unpredictably unintuitive--the conventions are ALMOST what you'd
expect, but just crocked enough that you damage yourself frequently,
if you're not careful to be looking at the manual.  Am I wrong, or
can you not abort an editor session after typing:

EDIT OLDFILE

I haven't seen how to do this.
