   I believe this is wrong. Kedit uses EXPANDED (EMS) memory. It actually
uses both conventional and expanded. If you have 700K of expanded
available, and 300K of conventional, you can work on up to 1M worth of
files (you can have several open at the same time.)  KEDIT is a really nice
TEXT editor (it is NOT a word processor.) The macro language is fairly nice
(but not as nice as Borland's Sprint!)
