Hello all interested in ed.ex improvements!

Rob, CK, Ken and many others ...

I have an idea, but I am too-too off-line of spare time now.
ed.ex is very handy and good for the text mode.
How about the pixel mode for ed.ex, edp.ex?
Say, something like :

--code of edp.ex
include graphics.e -- old good lib for DOS
include putsxy.e   -- old good lib for DOS
include ed.e       -- new good lib for DOS with the global
                   -- function editor(), which is just ed.ex
                   -- with puts() replaced to putsxy() or such.

if graphics_mode(261) then end if

abort(editor
     (
     X,  -- of upper left corner of ed window
     Y,  -- of upper left corner of ed window
     dX, -- width of ed window
     dY  -- height of ed window
     )
     )   -- end of code

So, we can have a powerful ed-control for GUI,
as just an EU function.

Cool, no ?
