[Coco] My new text editor for DECB

[Brett Gordon]

I agree on both points.  I have the same wishes.  Kip also asked for a
cntl key to return how much free buffer space is left.   I'll put all
these things on my TODO's.

Maybe a word-wrap toggle mode?


Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm glad you like it.
