Not a lot of info, Bill.  Editors, generally speaking, that actually work on 
the coco were xword (no idea what became of it, it wasn't coco3 compatible) 
dynastar, very capable but klunky with large files which these aren't, and my 
favorite which was tsedit, patched with a patch that made a vi clone out of 
it.  And which the inclusion of the /v0, /v1 as window types made me use dEd 
to rename it from vi to ed about 2 years ago on my machine.  If you have ever 
used vi or vim, you'll feel right at home with that one. 

Soo, what are you using for an editor?
