2022-05-24 10:41:48 <KipIngram   > Wow, that change I mentioned yesterday - moving everything up to "max" on character inserts and deletes, rather than just the "current string length" seems to have worked out extremely well.

2022-05-24 10:42:33 <KipIngram   > I made sure no bytes were sneaking across disk buffer boundaries in either direction.  Looks clean.
2022-05-24 10:43:23 <KipIngram   > I had a word called 'span" that calculated the size of the move required - all I really had to do was have it use "max" instead of "length," and that was about it.
2022-05-24 10:44:03 <KipIngram   > My 'edit' word discovers the string length at init - it was just scanning for a 0 byte.  I had to make that "either 0 or 10 (newline)."
2022-05-24 10:44:10 <KipIngram   > And that was all it took.
2022-05-24 10:52:43 <KipIngram   > So at this point a  "line editor" would take very little further work.  Mostly just a word to find "line n" in the buffer.
