I posted my "extended" versions of ed.ex on the user's 
contribution page up until Rob dropped ncurses (v. 3.0)
which broke some code. At that time I asked Rob to remove it from the 
archive.  My impression was that no one was interested in
using it, or any console editor for that matter, and therefore
didn't have much motivation for maintaining it.

If you are anyone is interested in the old code, I'll be glad to 
email it to you, or post it back to the archive. Actually, 
Rob offered to keep it in the archives with a notation that
v. 3.0 would be required to run it. I told him just to drop it 
since no one had expressed any interest in it

You mentioned that you didn't like ed.ex's menu's.  Look at
the code. Change what you don't like to something that you
do like. Want more menu's? Add'em. Likewise with hot-keys
and auto-complete. I never did any real programming in the sense
that most of you guys do. I just fiddled with Rob's code.

I guess I got really lazy because I don't think it would
really take that much to switch from the pre-v.30 ncurses code to
the ascii positioning code that ed.ex now uses.
