PE is a simple virtual full screen editor written in pascal.
  virtual: no line wrap
  full screen: type anywhere

Requires GPC to compile.

Invoke with
  pe
  pe <filename>
  pe <filename> <nnn>

That last one by-passes the opening screen and goes directly to line nnn.

Activate menu items with alt-letter. Thus alt-H gives a help screen.

An "Identifier" option has been added to the Search menu. While the string
entered in the "find" line may not be a valid identifier, pe checks the
character just before and just after the string, if any, looking for A..Z,
a..z, 0..9 or an underscore. Handy if you are searching for a single character
identifier.

If you make changes to a line and move the cursor to another line the changes
are saved. The only advantage of the enter key is to position the cursor.
The enter key does not split a line. There is an item in the line submenu
for that purpose.

As an aid to editing Makefiles tabs are not expanded and are displayed in red.
