Forgot to mention it. Yes, DOS has even better editing than UNIX.. something
to do with the fact that all IBM keyboard generate the same scan codes, and
almost all unix boxes don't.

The "official" 2.0.1g release for both DOS and UNIX and Atari MiNT will be
Monday. I will likely upload to gmd on Sunday nite.

If anyone wants to beta test, a beta release (that doesn't have the atari
stuff) is on my homepage.
