- In Edith Pro? That is a feature I have not found yet. I'm still having
- fun with the ability to mark a block that is not bound to the left
- column of the screen (using the right mouse button). That comes in
- handy every time I use Edith lately.

- Why is everyone so down on MultiTOS? Sure, Mag!X is better, but MultiTOS
- is quite a step forward compared to the last operating system Atari
- released...

-
- I agree; Control + UNDO would be better. But will word processor/text
- editor authors support it? (Will you make this a feature in Edith,
- for example?)
