One quick note about Express the editor:
I know it is intended to be a "programming" editor, but it does allow
text lines longer than 80 characters.
Well, the "free distribution/demonstration" copy I got from SIMTEL, dubbed
Express version 1.0, tends to lose a lot of characters from the lines longer
than a line around the wrap-around border.
I guess I shouldn
't have used it to write the personal letters, but I hope they
fixed it in the non-free version. If they have a bug somewhere, it is likely
that there is a bug somewhere else, as well as a major architectural problem.
It's a well-designed (human-interface-wise) editor, though. The best I have
so far.

P.S. I've got to start editing mails on my QX-10; keep coming up with things
to say after I'm done.
Well, instead of using longer lines, if you hand-insert carriage returns
liberally (or appropriately) in the long
"paragraphs," the editor will
adjust the right margin at your request - but each paragraph must start with
two carriage returns or a carriage return and a white space. (I also keep
hitting CR instead of the quotsies, in case you haven't figured that out).
