I agree with you completely about this editor... it does a really good
job of emulating the EDT editor that is standard on VAXes running the
VMS operating system.

The best part is the use of the numeric keypad (as in EDT) for performing
the most common editing functions.  After a little practice, you find
yourself developing automatic reflexes in the fingers of your right hand,
which boosts your editing speed.

There are also a few EMACS-like commands, for manipulating multiple windows
and editing several files simultaneously (great if you've broken your
program up into several source files).  There is no arbitrary limit on
file size.

I really like this editor and have been wondering why there hasn't been
more noise made about it.  Definitely worth checking out.

P.S.   Who's the author of the program?  Many thanks...

P.P.S.  If you tried an earlier version of this editor and threw it out
   because of unbearably slow file load/save times, that problem has
   been fixed in later versions.
