   I fell in love with brief the first time I used it. My favorite feature
   is the collum cut and paste, this is a feature I have not found on any
   other dos editor. I find the block cut and paste functions to be
   extremely simple and efficent. These are both features I use a lot and
   the simple keystrokes make editing a joy instead of a chore.

I am sure there must be many DOS editors which support rectangles.  My editor,
JED, has:

      copy_rect    : copies rectangle to rectangle buffer but does not delete
      insert_rect  : inserts rectangle from rectangle buffer at point
      kill_rect    : deletes a rectangle but puts a copy in the rectangle buf
      blank_rect   : overwrites a rectangle at point with blanks
      open_rect    : inserts a blank rectangle at point
