don't think that's quite correct, but it's probably close. That's
useful. I suspect that the number in the 12th byte might be an
indication of the number of segments involved in a file. I observe that
these are all small numbers or 0.
But that also means that what I suspect is a "filename field" is most
likely just that. Now to figure out the decoding...
I wish there were an operator's manual for the thing around. That alone

I can get the raw text, but how it's linked
together and what file
names might is still a mystery.
The Lanier 103 is apparently a rebadged AES Superplus, and one owner
says:
"The word processor had some strange features, such as each page had
to be stored as a separate file, which made adding text to page 1
quite a chore!" http://vintagecomputers.site90.net/aes/
So perhaps there's something unusual going on with the "filesystem"
structure...
