Yes, it's interesting to see how the MS-DOS editor EDIT is in fact interlocked
with QBASIC .. in fact, you can't have one without the other. (Back to EDLIN?
NEVER!!). Whereas PC-DOS had to produce its very own editor in competition ..
claimed to be superior, but I can't really tell from the brief runs I have had
on each.
But for certain jobs, QBASIC is clumsy indeed. Wanna trim a line of text to
less than 80 characters, breaking it at the space which precedes position 80?
Lotsa luck in QBASIC ("FOR J=80 TO 1 STEP -1 …)
Whereas in Rexx, find that space with X=LASTPOS(' ',string,80) and you're in
business!
