Making a file with the commands ,s///g ,s/$//g is helpful, the sam equivalent of /acme/edit/guide. (I haven't figured out how to type a CR, and just copy them from other text files). Another way to add CR's is to open and close the file in MS-DOS Edit. One thing that would be very nice is if Shift-Right Button brought up the middle button menu (cut-paste-etc.), as it does in Plan 9. Russ
