I agree that Joe's Wordstar mode, very like the Turbo-IDEs; is good and help is in fact &KH as &H is ASCII 8 which is backspace. Otherwise, it is the best so far; I just want to try a variety and see what works best as general editor for mail, scripting, programming if I go that route again, and so on. Thanks all so far.

I haven't tried it, but you can start joe in wordstar compatible mode. may be that could help you.
