     The Rand Editor comes from the Rand Corporation, in Santa Monica, CA.
It can be obtained at low cost in source form from them.  It's quite old 
(we've been using it since 1978) and it has few features by VI or EMACS
standards, but it is extremely simple to use (if the function keys are
marked properly, all a new user needs to know to use it can be written
on the back of a business card.)
     Interactive Systems used to sell it as their ``Intext'' editor, and
offered it on a modified Perkin-Elmer Owl terminal downloaded with some
local processing code, but they no longer support that product.
