Writing an editor is not really an easy task. If you really want to write an
editor buy yourself, I suggest that you get an editor toolbox so that basic
screen, memory and file control are just a few rountine calls away and you
can concentrate on User interface and specific functions you want to implement.

As an alternative, one could get Turbo Pascal 3.0 as a text editor. It is very
compact, requires very little memory yet very powerful. I've long upgraded my
3.0 to 5.5, but since my hard disk is not fast enough and it takes time to
load 5.5, sometimes I use 3.0 as a mere editor if I want to write something
really short.
