I'm currently in progress on a basic text editor. If anyone can provide some source code to an editor, it'd help considerably (editors aren't easy to design).

Something like mg might be better. I seem to remember that there articles last year about either MIT tech reports or books from the MIT Press about the general editor design issues. Also, I am probably wrong, but the original article smells like a Comp Sci homework assignment.... -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
