We have one, and its the only editor I use on the coco.  Its made from the 
tsedit disks by a patch that I think (I could be wrong) was done by Eddie 
Kuhns.  Beware that with modern nitros9, it will have to be renamed because of 
the usage of 'vi' as a device descriptor name, an unfortunate choice IMNSHO.  
Gives some crazy error messages. :(

I've done that to my copy, but ATM can't recall what I renamed it to, using 
dEd of course.  If perms to put the rename patched version on rtsi could be 
obtained, I could probably do that if there is enough demand.  Its the only 
editor we have that you can start with a #56k argument.
