The Full Screen Editor
The message editor is a full-screen editor designed especially for low-speed communication links. It supports word-wrap at the end of a line, so you can just type away without worrying about reaching the end of the line.

Special editing keys
When you are in the editor the following keys have special functions:
ESC
Leave the editor.
UP ARROW
Move the cursor up one line, scrolling the screen if necessary.
DOWN ARROW
Move the cursor down one line, scrolling the screen if necessary.
LEFT CURSOR
Move the cursor left one character.
RIGHT CURSOR
Move the cursor right one character.
BACKSPACE
Delete the character to the left of the cursor.
DELETE
Delete the character to the right of the cursor.
The editor is always in "insert" mode, which means any characters that you type are inserted into the document. If you are running at a slow rate, the screen may have to be redrawn. The editor does this in between your keystrokes so that you don't have to stop typing and wait for it to finish. When you are finished editing, press ESCAPE to exit.
