SpeedScript is NOT Public DOMAIN!  As a mater of fact nothing from
Compute! is PD.  
A while ago I wrote to Compute! asking permission to place programs
from their magazine in the Rutgers Univ. CCIS Microlab and we were
turned down.  Compute! claims that all the programs published in their
magazine are not PD.  Most user groups, info services (GEnie, CIS) has
also been denied permission to distribute Compute! programs.

As Mark said, T:EDIT from ANALOG is an excellent program.  I use it
mostly for reading doc files, and for writing some C programs.  But if
you want a real program I would suggest either AtariWriter Plus or
Paperclip.
