 Relax, there's at least one good block-transfer-terminal editor
in existance for the 3270s: CMS QED.  I even think think there's an
MVS QED somewhere.

 It's a fairly complete screen editor built on the front of the qed
editor that was subset to make unix "ed", with full regular
expressions, etc.

 As of the last time I looked, the University of Waterloo still had
it up.  Try writing to:

	The University,
	Waterloo, Ontario,
