Edit for DOS 95 has nine buffers. Each buffer can hold up
to 65,280 lines, each up to 1,023 characters. It has two
windows; each can be set to a different buffer, or they can
be set to the same buffer. And you get a 50 line console if
you start /h:

    edit /h foo.txt bar.c nognian.html

It's got some features (select whole lines without having to
press Home) that are good for assembly coders like me
(I write NES games).
