Try looking at the SPF/PC editor, available from Command Technology Corp.
(Ask for Barry Patton 415-339-3530)This package is a micro version of IBM's
SPF package.  It provides full screen editing, communications support, 
extended memory (up to 16Meg) on the AT, browse/edit of multiple files sim-
ultaneously, etc.  Both color and monochrome monitors are supported.
Once you use this package you won't be happy with anything else
