It's a wonderful toolbox, but it's not really very simple and perhaps
too bulky to be 'tucked away' inside something you're writing.  I
think it'd be neat having something which'd be 

procedure editor(x1, y1, x2, y2: byte; p:linepointer);

It'd allow simple editing (a la Sidekick) inside a window between
x1,y1 and x2,y2, it'd be nondestructive in that you don't have to save
background etc., it'd take the initial text as a linked list of lines
and return you the edited version through whatever p points to.

Yes, such an editor procedure would be real neat, esp. if it were a
TPU of 10k or less.  Anyone know where i may look?  Or do you have
source like this?
