[Coco] Ed 3.1 Nitros9 3.3.0

Thu Apr 28 00:04:47 EDT 2016

SCRED was a bit better than a line editor - you did have 4 way cursor control, and could forward/backward by word, line, etc. But it did have a command mode, and an editing mode that you had to keep switching between.
VED was nice in that it even showed non-printable characters on the screen, had block commands, a 53K buffer, built in help, etc. And it was _fast_. (Written 100% assembly).

>>>>>> Hello!I started playing around with Nitros9 again. I noticed that in the newest version 3.3.0 when I use the text editor Ed 3.1 that the mouse pointer is broken. It will not move. It worked in the older versions I've tried. Any idea how to get it working again? Is there perhaps another simple easy to use text editor like Ed as an alternative?Ed can be found here: ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/APPS/Thanks!Chas.
