If you're getting into an editor, you should probably use something like the
"real" WordStar of at least v2.2. That one can edit in columns, to an extent
I've not seen in ANY other editor before or since. The one really important
part of that is that one can then discard the assembler output and save only the
source in a ".PRN" or ".LST" file.
That will lead to needing MUCH less storage.

It would be great if you could do WordMaster, the
precursor to WordStar. It
was a very useful editor for programming and its pattern of control-keys for
cursor movement and editing was used by many other programs.

How about a decent editor?
I used CP/M just a bit back in the day, and I'm only now learning a bit
more about it. Do you have any recommendations? I've seen TED in one of
the CP/M archives, but I haven't gotten far enough along to see if I can
get it to run on a Sol.
