I personally would much rather use an OS9 editor directly on the OS9 files, 
whether that be on the emulator or on the real coco.
ED/VI looks good, and I could use VED also, however, my point was that 
there's only one editor on the NistrOS9 distribution disks, and that's EDIT. 
If I want to quickly modify the standard.bl file to create a new boot disk 
from the latest distro, I don't want to go through the hassle of 
transferring the file to/from the PC to do that especially if I'm using a 
real coco3.
