I've got sereral (or maybe one) versions of uemacs working the ST now but
all suffer from one major mis-feature.  When you scroll, the status line
goes 'winging' on up the screen (delete lines) then heads back down to the
bottom (insert lines).  This is so annoying to me that I just put the disk
away and went back to using MegaMax's editor (which is REAL pain as well).
Has anyone put ST specific screen IO into a uemacs?

Speaking of MegaMax's editor.... does anyone else feel that when you use
CURSOR keys, it's the *CURSOR* that should move?  In case you haven't seen
this *GEM* of an editor (pun intended) the cursor keys move the screen,
leaving the text cursor where ever it happens to be.  And that includes
when the cursor is OFF the screen!!   The ONLY way the position the cursor
is to point and 'click'.  Hunky dory aye?
Sheesh.....
Anyone recommend a really great editor... like one that allows lines > 80
columns 8^).
