Greetings,

I recently downloaded davex and eventually figured out how to extract the
files from the binary II files and decompress them (so I never did it
before).  I wanted to try it out to see if my Father might be able to use
it, he's the one with the //c.  I was very impressed with it overall.
However, there is one significant feature missing - a text editor.

It is somewhat cumbersome to have to switch between davex and appleworks
just to edit plain text files.  Is there a text editor which runs under
davex?  I would almost be tempted to write one myself if I knew how to
make it interact properly with davex.  The documentation I downloaded
mentions an appendix which gives such info, but I couldn't find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
