Oh!  You meant the old text editor on the ancient OS, eh?   But I don't

where I am...  :)

Of course, there's always kermit.  That's what I did use for uploads (on
selected boards that had a compatible kermit protocol) until Richard
made the zmodem uploads a viable option.  For whatever reason, it seemed
that only Wildcat boards (and I think maybe not even all of them) had a
kermit option that worked with my kermit.

I suppose then all the prophecies come true, and we find something else
to fill our time... ;
