Dont quite understand the problem. Why not just use a text editor? There are
plenty of free ones around, including QED, by Jan Bredenbek and EDI by
Jo/Al, both tiny and simple to use. The latter is a S*Basic procedure
invoked via the command EDI.
If you have QPAC1 there is also the CPY filter which can be used thus:
EX#3, 'ram1_CPY', 'ram1_test_txt'
PRINT#3; 'Type and edit text here'
CLOSE#3: REMark Quit
or try this very simple "editor" here:
c = FOP_OVER("ram1_test_txt"): REPeat : k$ = INKEY$(-1): PRINT#c; k$;:
PRINT#1; k$;
