That I found Luis, but then the 64K question is how to exit that help 
screen.  By the time I've figured that out, I've forgotten why I called the 
help screen in the first place. :(

Its the hereafter syndrome at my age.  Thats where you get up and go into 
another room, then have to stop and think "what I am I here after?"  
Sometimes the empty coffee cup in your hand is the clue to refresh the wet 
ram that you were headed to the Mr. Coffee for a refill, but not always. :(

> CTRL+S save file
> CTRL+R rename file
> CTRL+E exit
> CTRL+O online help

Which needs one more, a CTRL+U to undo what you just did, in case that 
wasn't what you wanted to do.  Say 5 levels deep if memory can be found to 
save that much data.  

Then we would truly have a tsedit/vi/vim killer. 

Printed, FFR, thanks Luis.
