[comp.lang.pascal] Editor: column mode

Thank you for all the replies for my query.  

I had browsed over the suggested editors (e.g. QEDIT, PC-WRITE)
but they do not come with source code.

A while ago, I purchased a copy of Borland's Editor Toolbox and they do 
not have the column functions built in either. I am, therefore, looking 
for source code for a good editor working under DOS environment with
column delete, move and replace functions.

For my research, I would like to learn the tricks of programming column
functions in editors.  Ideally, I would like some source code that 
would implement column functions in the Borland Editor Toolbox editor, 
which works with a linked list in memory.  I can write my own code to 
do these when the editor is working on a simple array of strings, but 
this is not very efficient and I need to work with files > 65K.

I would be grateful for any advice you could give.  Thank you.
