- What sort of computer are you using? I know of a few for the CoCo that
- are good, but I doubt that they will work on any other OS9/6809 system.
-
- My personal favorite is probably RS's tsedit, patched with the "vi" patch.
- The problem is that tsedit is no longer in production, so you will probably
- have to scour your area RS stores or find a used copy. Of course, this
- is "decent" only if you like vi.
-
- There's a port of microemacs out there, too. It might be pretty good, if
- there's any room left for your text after it loads. (Did anyone ever solve
- that problem? I know that, at least at first, it was a significant problem.)
-
- The microemacs might run on non-CoCo systems, since I believe it uses
- termcap.
-
- Anyway, maybe this is a step in the right direction.
