A fatal limitation in a programmer's editor!

I'm mainly a [u]emacs fan, but I have to admit, dealing with that OSK
curses subset, most of which is a single 30K source file, has brought
me over to your way of thinking.

I changed its name back to tsedit, though.  

And left a copy of the original in /dd/vdg/cmds, so I have a
reasonable editor when I boot up a vdg boot disk to play Carmen or
DeskMate 3.

The text formatter from ts/word works fine under LII.  I forget if the
graphical shell (vshell) and the graphical previewer did or not.  I
haven't been able to get vshell to work under LI NitrOS/6809, it runs
out of memory. :-(
