Heh, flashbacks to stern warnings in magazines to 'turn off document mode
if using a word processor' to edit plain text files ;)  I wouldn't imagine
full-screen text editors were standard equipment in that sort of
timeframe; EDLIN was where it was at as far as MS-DOS was concerned, which
is probably why the Amstrad machines came with RPED on the GEM Desktop
diskette...

Nice work, as always, John.  Looking at the desk accessories (that
alternate colour scheme is horrendous!), the 'voice input' option you
mention is intriguing -- I can't find much about that with a quick scout
around, so do you have any pointers to more information on it?

(... aaaaand now I'm clicking around your vintage PC pages.  Guess that's
goodbye to the rest of the evening then *grin*)
