When using the Xenix box or the ICL ME29 I still edited my COBOL source on my CP/M box using WordStar 3.

WordStar was the best source code editor I have ever used, even better than Brief.

I used an ancient (& ripped off) version of Wordstar for Dos on an Amstrad 1512 many moons ago.

It was great.

An infinite improvement on the General Automation line editor I'd used for the previous 7 years.

@1/5,P
to display the first 5 lines....

@C=Y to end the edit session... etc. etc. etc.

@K=Y did something, but I can't remember what... it may have inserted text from another file.

Ctrl-K-Y deleted a block didn't it?

Ctrl-K-B to mark the start, Ctrl-K-K to mark the end, Ctrl-K-Y to delete.

"B" and "K" are the beginning and end of the word "BLOCK", which explains them; and the "Y" stood for "YANK" (as in pull, not as in Merkin).

I have no idea about any of that

Blimey, that didn't take long. Did someone supercharge it?
