   GD Ed,   
      
    AO> ............................... The latest news being that MS is   
    AO> planning to release Win9 as a free upgrade for anyone that has Win8.   
      
    HG> That must be a joke!   
    HG> When has M$ released something free?   
      
   EV> If MS ever released Mouse Support for EDLIN I don't think it would   
   EV> be a free add-on.   
      
   EV> Which makes me wonder if MS has still included EDLIN and EDIT in W7   
   EV> and W8.x. amd if those programs will still be in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32   
   EV> in Ten.   
      
   Mouse support in EDLIN isn't desirable/necessary as it's a programming   
   editor. Both are included in XPp AFAIK and I use EDIT when I print out   
   texts that contain umlaut characters that I have made in OS/2. Edit is   
   the only Windows program that does print out those characters before   
   first converting them to Latin 1's character code.   
      
   EV> Another crazy thought of mine: does the X in XP mean TenP?     
      
   Perhaps "ExPert"!   
      
   EV> 73 ar   
      
   You could just as well write 73 + because that's the meaning of the   
   code .-.-. that forms the characters 'a' and 'r', (.-  .-.).
