I am writing a C program which is going to have a simple text editor like you'd see in SideKick, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to write the code? I am using Turbo C with its video features such as puttext(). I want the thing to have simple word wrapping when you insert text, and very basic cursor movements. My main decision is what kind of data structures to use - just the big array used by puttext()K ? Thanks R. Chao

If you need a specialized editor that you want to look ``Turbo-ish,'' you can actually license the turbo skeleton for their editors. This might same you mucho time. Contact Borland for details.
