I used it for a little while back in '90 or '91, but switched to a
freeware DOS editor called TDE. I didn't use the "standard" key maps
for either one. :-)

Yeah, sure... <grin> I've used a vi clone (elvis), and think it's an
interesting and functional editor, but I much prefer others.

Yes, as well as cut-and-paste capabilities. I tend to use Yarn in a
fullscreen OS/2 text window a lot, but I have third-party utils to give
me nice task switching and clipboard capabilities between fullscreen
sessions so I'm not missing much. And it's easier on the eyes. :-)
