You might just want to get DME from Matt Dillon or from some archive
somewhere.  Really a wonderful editor.  If you insist on using the
AmigaDOS editor, however, you should use the Ed editor rather than
Edit.  It's a simple screen editor (as opposed to Edit, which is a
line editor - yuck).

You should be able to get the AmigaDOS manual at Waldenbooks or
B Dalton.
