The only time I tried sled was a disaster, it actually managed to crash a 2 
meg coco3!

My favorite editor is the vi conversion of tsedit.  It can make use of a 56 
kilobyte buffer on a coco3.  Even tsedit itself, the one time I ran it 
before patching it, looked as if it was a quite usable editor. Those disks 
were available as service parts for less than a 5-ver from the shack a few 
years ago, but I've no idea as to their status today.
