Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that the original poster was referring to
the X Windows "simple text editor", called "xedit" or "Xedit" - an
incredibly brain-dead editor.  As it happens, one feature of this editor is
that you can't see the ends of long lines unless you can understand the
sentence in the man page: "Horizontal scrolling is not allowed by default,
but can be turned on through the Text widget's resources, see Athena Widget
Set for the exact resource definition."  I certainly don't...

Apologies for this digression (though the name confusion is
understandable).  I now return you to your regular discussion...

I would think so, though I must admit that at this time neither "XC" nor
"THE" looks sufficently like XEDIT to make me change my current editor
(which is a slightly-XEDIT-ized "jove")...

Ian Collier  (who once printed out the entire XEDIT online help in case he
              ever got around to writing a Unix clone... :-) )
