I know of a few people with this editor and it's not the BIOS redrawing the
screen, it's the editor.  Another symptom of this is that if they want to
find, say, the fourth occurance of the word 'frobozz' the editor stops and
redraws the screen on the three frobozzes in between.   This is the only
negative thing I've heard them say about the thing.

disclaimer:  I've never used the editor, just seen it used.  I also have no
             relation to MIX, Infocom, or my father (sorry dad).
