Welp, I've used 2 different DOS editors on a regular basis. I don't recall
seeing a recommended operating system. But, Bingo3.0 and Qedit 2.1 are both
very good for DOS. They both accomplish most of the requirements, except
qedit doesn't have a comprehensive mouse feature. It allows you to move
the cursor with the mouse, but no highlighting.
They both have a C-Mode as well and keybinding setups for multiple editors/
wordprocessors like emacs and wordstar.
Tim.
