Summary: remote (portable) edit protocols

Jim Perry at Dartmouth (now at Apollo?) and others implemented another remote
editing protocol that ran in your Macintosh or Avatar (modified H19 with uC),
sparing their poor Honeywell mainframes a lot of work.

If done right, this gives you a screen editor that's relatively portable
(e.g., talks to ED-like editors, which are found eveywhere).
It also keeps the display from getting out of sync with the editing
(e.g., the line you deleted on the display wasn't the one that was
supposed to be there).
