Has anyone written or considered writing a UCSD-Pascal-like editor for
VAX or SUN or whatever?  The UCSD editor will do a lot of things, some
of them the hard way, but its main advantage seems to be that moderately 
intelligent seventh-graders can (and have) learned it quite easily.

An aside - I've got to fix my .cshrc - it threw me into (yuk-ptui) vi
to write this note.  I've just found out that J is the way you delete
a CRLF.  Now that's not intuitively obvious to the casual observer...
but may make some wierd sort of sense to the computer scientist who
believes that control-J = LF (sometimes)
