## `EDIT.SYSTEM`

*Automatically invoked when using W)rite, F)orward or R)eply in `EMAIL.SYSTEM`*

*Run manually using Open Apple-E in `EMAIL.SYSTEM`*

`EDIT.SYSTEM` is a simple full-screen editor.  It uses Apple //e auxiliary memory to store the text buffer, allowing files up to 46KB to be edited.  The command keys are similar to the popular AppleWorks word processor.

If RamWorks-style memory expansion is available, `EDIT.SYSTEM` can use it as additional editor buffers.  For each 64KB bank of RamWorks expansion, an additional 46KB buffer will be allocated.  With an 8MB RamWorks card, 128 buffers are available.  `EDIT.SYSTEM` is able to support editing of large files (>46KB) by splitting them across more than one buffer.
