Hallo Andrew!

 AL> MBSE uses the joe already installed on the system.

That is what I thought but confirmation is always good.  I already have looked 
at joe-4.6 and have confirmed it can properly handle utf8 characters, or at 
least the ones I threw at it.  I forgot to check word wrapping and whether or 
not it adds unwanted linefeeds on long lines.  I did with nano-4.0 as it has 
switches that can be used to control such things.

 AL> the default full screen editor for use with MBSE

On Sean's BBS full screen is only 80 characters.  On the local joe I compiled 
yesterday it is the same as whatever terminal I used and for my default one 
(linux) it is 160 characters and counts multibyte characters as one character.  
That wasn't what I saw on Sean's BBS.  If I do install MBSE I will then see if 
that indeed is a limitation.  As for utf8 characters it looks like it should 
work but might be limited to 80 characters.  Hopefully MBSE counts characters 
correctly unlike some web servers I've seen in action.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
