subject: Exist TSE for OS/2?

After keying all the cars in the lot, Jack had this to say to Bill Arlofski:
JS> Bill Arlofski wrote in a message to Larry Cooke:

Very good point.
JS> WIN may have lots of users, but the majority of them don't likely know

JS> TSE.
What does " 'See-Colon-Arrow' mean?"
Where's my mouse cursor????
Edit config - dot - what?
Grrrr...  :)
I think you mentioned Boxer in a post a few messages back... Anywhere one can 
grab a copy, and is it still being suppported? I really hate to give up on 
Qedit/TSE-Pro, but I m trying to convert to ALL 32-bit (NON-MS) apps, Heck, I 
don't even have DOS 6.xx on my machine anymore. I'd really like to have a 
native OS/2 "text" (80x25) editor (NOT E.exe!) so I can do this:
C:\ > Edit "F:\Temorary download directory\readme.long-filename.txt"
Can't do that with TSE pro in a VDM :)
Also, I think I remember you mentioning support for context color coding (or 
something)  If I am not mistaken, doesn't TSE for DOS offer that as well as 
proper indenting etc for different programming languages? I don't 
particularly care for stuff like that, but if I get back into programming, I 
am betting it might be more of a help rather than the distraction that I 
perceive it to be. 
 See my Win95 tagline. Bound to catch hell for that someday. hehe

... My other 'OS' is a pretty facade on top of an updated 16bit DOS.
