Look through the magazines for an ad for an editor called RED, by
Howard K. Ream. He sells source. Used to be about $100. RED will page
the editor buffer to disk, and I'm sure you could get some good ideas
from that. If you can't find an ad, let me know -- I bought it a couple of
years ago, and never did use it. I'll sell you a slightly used disk and
manual cheap.
