if 0 {Richard Suchenwirth 2003-08-12 - In contrast to a basic editor which has quite some features, here's an utterly simple one which just allows to load and save files, and of course edit, and cut and paste, and whatever is built-in into the text widget anyway. And it has a bit "online help"... ;-)
For another study in literate programming, see A minimal editor explained. }
For a slightly extended minimal editor with some fun (I think) additional capabilities see A minimally extended minimal editor. -- CB
