One good hybrid is jove. Doesn't appear so until you find out how to turn the line numbers on to the left of what you're editing and it's possible to use line number addresses in command specifications. Understand, I use edlin on a regular basis when using dos so line editors work quite well for me. Another somehwat defective CP/M line editor I think from sig/m was secretry.com. It was a hybrid like jove too but had lots more stuff on menus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jude
