The only editor I use is the micro-emacs implemented in Gulam. It works
fine in overscan mode. Note, if you "set nrows 50" in monochrome, Gulam
will be confused at first. Exit it and restart it, and it'll get the screen
dimensions from LineA and all will be well. (86 columns by 60 rows.)
(I avoid this hassle by having a small AUTO program that sets the 8-line
font at boot-up. Then I don't need the Gulam "set nrows" command, and
TOS uses the 8-line font without hassles...)
