ME, the Mutt Editor by Craig Dunford, which I recently got from the net,
looks like a great pseudo-Emacs.  But, I have a problem using it:

On both my work PC (a genuine IBM PC XT) and own (Toshiba 1200HB),
anything I type appears to be translated into some bizarre L*O*N*G
keycodes on the bottom line of the screen, under the mode line.  When
these codes exceed one line length, I get a line feed so I can fit more
codes on the screen!  The typed text also (sort of) appears in the
buffer above...

I would like to learn/use this editor-- what am I doing wrong?  I am
simply running the mepc.exe which was in me_cd.arc.  My monitors are
monochrome and cga.  No other "version specific" code appeared to be
included, except some keyboard defs for an HP150 or some such.

Alternatively, (no offense, Craig D.), is there some other PD/shareware
programmable editor of the many available which is clearly superior?
(Email responses significantly different from posted articles will be
summarized and posted.)
