ForthOS Editor

Introduction

As mentioned in the filesystem document, ForthOS uses block files, generally organized within a block filesystem. ForthOS provides a full-screen editor whose command set is reminiscent of the vi/vim command set. The editor provides the usual full-screen keystroke text editing, and also commands for interacting with the ForthOS filesystem. It is entered with scr# v.
