Same editor. Poor choice of words on my part. I still want POSIX regular expressions. And my first IBM "full screen" editor was EDGAR on VM/370, the precursor to XEDIT. Well, it was the second one actually. My first was SPIN under CICS/VS on OS/VS1 - IIRC, SPIN was the CICS transaction id. It's real name was SPM-Online: "Source Program Maintenance - Online". Any other ex-users remember that? It kept its data in BDAM files.
