[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Query, mouse supporting editors

gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (02/06/89)

Hi,
Would anybody list decent editor programs that support 

1. the mouse (cut and paste),
2. bigger-than-64k file handling, and
3. multiple file (window) editing?

The Norton Editor will do what you want.  It supports a mouse, can
handle two windows, and will do cut and paste operations.  The editor
is simple to learn, and just has a nice feel.  

If you're ambitious enough, Logitech lets you write programs for its
mouse, and it might not be too difficult to write a mouse program for
an editor called Brief.  Brief is a much better editor, but the Norton
Editor will do exactly what you requested immediately.

Disclaimer:  I have no financial or personal interest in the Norton
Editor, Brief, or Logitech.  I use all three products, and I think
highly of them.

If my memory serves, doesn't Logitech mke an editor caled Point, which is
supposed to be pretty nice, since it was designed for a mouse.
