Editors and the Software Tools books have always been weaknesses of mine. 
I have been wanting to implement a very simple, easily transportable,
full screen editor for some time.  (Vi and the emacs derivatives are
too much.) Could some kind soul please Email me the specific references 
and/or source code mentioned above and/or any other references that
pertain to a similar subject.

Thanks in advance,
