humm. One fo the things I liked about DR-DOS was DOSBOOK.EXE
which gave me a rundown on the command line and had contextural
search. Is there a Linux version?

If you'd followed the posts here a while you might know
I've got a special editing problem. Will Textra:
do 50 line screens?
let you colorize the text with ansi code?
Or, lacking that, will it do hi-ascii, non-text loads?
I have used hi-ascii instead of a space where I want
the color to change, then after the formatting is all
done, do a search & replace with ANSI color codes.
I'm also looking into writing a batch that can call up
a string search to insert the appropriate color code
before every letter so that the INT 10 AX=9 subroutine,
char/attr can be used to display digital book pages.
Be nice to find a text editor that would output binary
copies of a text file.
will it handle book length files? 1meg= 400 pg book.
Will it paginate text in 2 column screen pages?
