[Coco] My new text editor for DECB

[Robert Hermanek]

Constructive criticism for CCEDIT, and it won't hurt my feelings at all 
if you ignore me completely:

After using the editor, I find myself wishing for the following:

1)  It is difficult to know when you are reaching 80 col max... possible 
solutions could be a) using a border color other than black so it would 
be obvious as you get close, or b) possibly a beep when you type past 
col 70, something like that.... (think back to the old mechanical 
typewriter days...)

2)  For typing free text, a limited wrap-around function might be nice 
so that the word you are typing, when you reach col 80, is moved down to 
the next line and continued.  I wouldn't say full document word-wrap 
would be worth doing, more was thinking of a couple simple rules that 
are checked while you are typing:

a)  if the cursor is at col 80, and
b) you type a letter, not a space, then
c) maybe search back up to 20 chars or so, and if a space is found, 
replace with a CR?

(really I don't know if the above would be easy or hard...)

Anyway, that was my two cents, and I wouldn't worry about it too much, 
I'm already a fan of the program.  Thanks again.
