LOL. Thank you. It's good to have someone else to look over my shoulder. 

I have been on vacation but I am back at it.

I have a sticky bit.  The 99 text files are limited to 80 characters but if we insert text at the cursor rather than line by line I have to start chopping lines.

Not sure how best to do that right now but I am noodling on it.

Sorry for the delay @dhe

I decided to learn the Viola and it takes way more time than I thought!  

 

Here is new version that is a big re-write. 

I has a join (J) command now but it cannot insert into the cursor.

 

The 'r'  command can read files into the buffer now. 

I just tweeked the man page with what I can think of. 

 

I gotta run out and this hot off the press so let me know what you find. 

It still has the small 8K buffer but it seems more solid.

I was away on grand-baby-sitting duty over the weekend.

It is very quiet.  Is there some bad news I should be told about this version?

Yesterday while playing with this editor in Classic99 I found a big shortcoming.

It does not take text from the paste menu.  I traced this back to my latest repeating key code and I have no idea why it works great from the keyboard but not from paste.

I can fix it by removing repeating key feature in insert mode if anyone is actually using it. @dhe?

I will do more research on a new repeating key routine.
