I remember asking this one a while back myself.... but the question should be
considered a bit more carefully;  You would have to be crazy to believe any
version of GNU Emacs would fit in the 64, but there are many Micro Emacs's out
there which could serve as a goal - or even as a source, since they are written
in C, for a C64 Micro Emacs....

Actually I was pointed to an editor I own, the editor that comes with Power C;
while not an editor with Macros (EMACs = Editor with MACros), it has named 
buffers, cut & paste directory access, syntax checking... Maybe someone
could add macros to this?

I have occassionally toyed with the idea of using BlazinForth to write an
Emacs, with forth as the macro language, and buffers as the file form....
but my own native sloth has prevented such a development... any takers?
