Okay.  I've discovered Wil Baden's wonderful F83S.  It has a nice
screen editor with no documentation other than the source (at least
the distruibution I got has no docs).  I can use the editor in a very
simple-minded way, but I can tell by doing EDITOR WORDS that there's a
lot of nice features that would save me a lot of time and trouble.
But unless I make a career out of reading the source (which has no
comments) I won't be able to use them!  Blind experimentation (``Try
to guess what `burp' does!'') would make a fun party game, but I need
to get some work done.

Are there any F83S users who can help me?  Does anyone have any
documentation they can mail me?  Perhaps a glossary for the editor
words?

Thanks a million!
