Subject: More on MIX editor

I (also) bought a copy of the MIX editor for CP/M.  I think that they
have done a good job on this editor, excepting one slight lack which
makes the product useless for me-- the editor does not know what to do
with control characters in files that you edit.  This includes such
interesting characters as formfeeds and tabs.  MIX will offer to convert
LEADING tabs to spaces for you during editing, and back again when writing
out the file, but to my way of thinking, this is not enough.

If editing these control characters doesn't come up for you, MIX seems to
be really good.  I hope that they work on this problem so that I can use
it, too.
