-Update - 24th Aug 2012 - 
-Added the mg editor files from OpenBSD. 
-I obtained the code from here - 
-ftp://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/OpenBSD/src/usr.bin/mg/
+Update - 6th Sep 2012 - 
 
-( It's not so much the editor itself that is the main interest here, 
-but the line-management code. )  
+Almost there!  
+The code now pretty much works as expected. 
 
-NOTE - in the mg directory, the file "theo.c" is NOT 
-"public domain" ( but it HAD to be included because of the 
-humour......  ;)    )  
+It looks like the stack-smash problem has now 
+been fixed. I've give the code a pretty good 
+hammering and it didn't give me problems. 
 
-Many thanks to the OpenBSD team and the mg devs 
-(hi Theo - arrrrrrgh, please don't hit me........... ;)     )   
+Pressing Enter still exits the program rather 
+than storing the existing command-line and "staying 
+in the program". I hope to change this soon.     
+
+You can edit a command-line (using backspace). 
+You can move around with left and right-arrow 
+keys. 
+Command-history can be recalled from a file with 
+the up-arrow key, and you can scroll up and down 
+through the command-history. 
+
+This code is released to the public domain.  
+"Share and enjoy........ ;)  "
