managed to get the 'compose mode' working to such a state that i figured it would be important to involve version-control software.

currently the editor is sitting at about 80 lines of code, and a file size of about 2KB.

it currently supports only one buffer of text, with a meagre 48 columns x 24 rows.

this can probably increase to about twice this size, but i want to finish the rest of it first.

this is a quick demo of 'compose mode' of the people's permacomputer text editor.

it has word wrapping.

next step is edit mode.

for more information -- have a look at VIC EDITYPE:

-.-. --- --- .-..

edit mode as it existed in EDITYPE is now implemented, and seems to work.

i made a major modification, it merely dumps the whole buffer and allows the user to search and replace.

it will currently only replace the first occurrence it finds, and then require the user to type everything again...

uses about 3.6KB memory.

after this video, the interpreter reports:

> PRINT SIZE
2007
> PRINT HIMEM-SIZE
2723

@dirtycommo@anticapitalist.party The expression on line 1250 left me stumped.🤣
