I just bought a small portable with an 8 MGHTZ 8088 processor. It has 720k of memory and a 20 meg hard drive. I was thinking of buying the Borland stay resident editor phone book etc but I was wondering if anybody has a better suggestion for a stay resident editor. I basically will be using the machine to run Procomm and your occasional editing. Is there a better way to keep my editor and comm program in memory? I'm willing to give up some performance but I don't have that much to give up.

Yes, there is a better "stay resident" editor. It is a version of Qedit, I
think the latest version is 2.1, they also offer a shareware version (it is
the same product without the BUY ME announcement at the beginning and end),
try the following:
