	many additional operator commands
	selection highlighting
	rectangular operations
	"next error" cursor positioning after compilation
	full function- and arrow-key support
	filename, command, internal mode and variable completion

	built-in macro language
	portability to all UNIX platforms, VMS, DOS, Win32, OS/2
