   Emacs won that war ages ago. ;)    [dave dives for cover]

   But seriously...Editors are usually complex, but they don't always  
have to be.  I've done a lot of work with CamelForth on Z80 (I have  
two homebrew SBCs running it) and have added mass storage support to  
it.  In support of that, I needed an editor.  I wrote a very basic  
full-screen editor in Z80 assembler.  I must emphasize that it is  
VERY basic, and it is very much tied to Forth system usage, but the  
assembler source file is only 728 lines long.
