At that time (mid 2015), I had followed dex for a while, as its code was so beautifully clean. And it hadn't seemed abandonned yet. I'm glad to see that Craig has added control keystrokes like ^Q, because the ^C quit <Enter> was just as infuriating as the :q! of vim.) |

Open the attached file in nano, and see how the first line (after the A:) appears to be empty. But when you open it in vim or emacs or dex or joe, there are four "block characters" there, showing the codes 0A1000, 0B2000, 0C3000 and 0D4000.

I think Craig has cleaned up dex to be even more frugally clean and correct, plus boosted the functionality and configurability..!
