         Note that the Editor cannot be used with a tele-        :
         vision monitor having only forty columns.  However,     :

         is used as the run-time terminal.  In other words,      :
         you cannot use a forty column TV monitor with the       :
         Editor, but you can use it with your application        :
         programs.                                               :
