We would count the lines and characters to move the cursor to, then do the correction blind, then wait for the editor to respond. With luck, the spelling would be good. Then exit, run the pascal compiler, and wait again. We blamed the many instances of the compiler/linker running for the slowness, we never thought of the editor itself. Or both. The difficulty of getting computer time pushed me to get my first computer (paid by my parents, of course). An Amstrad PC1512. I would never have become proficient with programming using the Uni resources only. -- Cheers, Carlos.
