OF course it does. You'd think with Unix folks building on pushing 30
years of computing experience they'd get a few things right. I still find it
amusing that a lot of the things that Microsoft and Mac are dealing with now
the 'nix crowd solved a good decade ago.
And people wonder why I say those two, especially Microsoft, harm
consumers. ;)

*Steve then points out that in some editors that isn't needed since it
retains the column that the cursor was last in, even on short lines, even if
it positions the cursor on column 1 for the one line between.* :)
