Would anyone be able to figure out where to patch SpeedScript 3.0
(published May '85, Compute! Magazine) do to a couple things differently?

   * Different default colors?

   * substitute pattern/substitution instead of current 
     substitution/pattern order of inquiry?

   * more editor-like cursor movements (up/down/left/right)?
     (word &/or paragraph movement is fine for Word Processing,
     and could be kept in the shifted form...but UDLR movement
     is more intuitive for most people....)

   * Start up in insert mode (I prefer insert to overstrike...)

   * Anything else of interest?  (My copy come up showing the non-space
     spaces at the end of line.  It was simple, w/ OS/A+ you can get
     back to the OS w/ RESET (DOS II it reboots...), so I set the option,
     then went to the OS & saved the copy again.  This technique did not
     work for the color, or insert/overstrike mode options.  I guess some
     are loaded as in-line values, and others are loaded into there memory
     locations by init code....

Thanks in advance for any tips, useful memory locations, etc...
