I'm looking for a program/function in C that will allow me to create a
text-editing box in DOS.  Similar to MS-DOS Edit, but without menus and
having a special key (may be function) to save and exit.  The ability to

have it run in a partial-screen would be nice, but not needed.  It will
have to be keyboard based, because the computer will not have a mouse.
My current solution is a loop that allows single lines to be entered and

added to the entire message when they hit return.  This does not allow
lines that have been entered to be edited however, which I would like.
Please e-mail me if you can help (I do not get to this NG often).
