If you're looking for VI or Emacs type editing this Article
does not apply.

We have located a SIMPLE screen editor for Unix which has the
these features:

	o Full Screen Editing
	o Highlighted Cut/Paste
	o Multiple file edit
	o Read sections from other files 
	o 64 Command sequence full UNDO !
	o Operates on 650K+ file sizes
	o Variable text caching
	o On-line help
	o User definable keystroke - command options
	o KeyMacro definitions
	o Your basic search - replace etc editing 

If you've ever worked with a editor like Breif, Screen, or other
plain TEXT oriented editors, and liked them, this is what the 
doctor ordered.  

I've been using this editor and found no features lacking for
program and general text editing. It does not have all the features 
of EMACS and VI, but I've found that I use more of the features 
in uscreen than VI or Emacs because they make 'sense' to me.

The documentation is scant, but after using the editor for a few minutes
I found I didn't need the paper documentation.

There are some limitations to uscreen. 

   o  Uscreen currently supports two terminal types, VT100 and 
       a AT BUS screen controller (EGA, VGA, CGA, Herc). 

   o It's available only for 386 Systems - Xenix 2.2.3 or 2.3
