Modifiers: D. Spector

     This  version  of  the  symbolic editor is a highly modified version of the
original OS8 release.  The operation is basically the same as documented in  the
OS8 Handbook with the follow items as major new features:  

     - Commands can be entered in both upper and lower case 

     - Line numbers are listed in the L and W commands 

     - W Write command 
          Like  List, except the editor will remember the line numbers from
          the command form "n,mW"  in  subsequent  write  commands  without
          arguments.  

     - Z Zap command 
          Like  the  Jerk  command except that no punching of the buffer is
          done into the output file.   The  editor  searchs,  deletes,  and
          reads buffers until the proper string is found.  

     - H Rewind command 
          The command rewinds the input to the first character of the first
          file.  The present buffer is not modified and there is no  effect
          on  the  ouput  file.   A  rewind cannot be done after the end of
          file.  

     - Command decoder /A option 
          Adds rubouts after tabs in the output file.
