I use Nedit that comes with STSC/APL/PC*PLUS (v.5.0) to edit an
array C, whose shape is 500x2, on an IBM/PC/XT.
After typing :  NEDIT 'C'.      I wait roughly 90+ sec to get into
nedit.
Gee! It will be 'PAINFUL' to do this for forty times. (I have forty
data file to edit).
On IBM/PC/AT (6MHz),  the initializing time can be reduced by factor
4. Doable! but not ideal!
The array editor in ASYST (Mcmillan Inc.) (v.1.51) is very fast!
But it lacks a lot of features such as to delete , add a row/col etc.
( at least , I havn't figured out how to do it).

Should I try LOTUS 123 ?  (my data file is in ASCII format).
Or should I get the spreadsheet manager from STSC ? Will it be faster
than NEDIT ?
