2025-04-21 17:27:35 <KipIngram   > Surely there will be somewhere.  They're not that hard to write - I've written some, but unfortunately my systems have not been ans so my code's full of words unique to my system.

2025-04-21 17:33:55 <KipIngram   > Are you interested in a line editor or a full screen editor?

2025-04-21 17:36:55 <KipIngram   > I've done both kinds - if you do it appropriately you can set it up so that the full screen editor is just some new code wrapped around the line editor word.
2025-04-21 17:38:56 <KipIngram   > So if you wind up writing a line editor, my advice would be to have it leave some indication of what the keystroke was that caused it to exit.  Then full screen code could hook that and handle it.

2025-04-21 19:49:52 <KipIngram   > And Forth 79 was an influence on me, though somewhere along the way I got the idea that it had less influence on ans that some of the other versions did.
