Editing old revision 2. Saving this page will replace the latest revision with this text.
''Magic Window'' dates back to the time when computers had 48KB user storage and two 320KB floppy drives. It gave some serious thought to the problems of writing a large (well, large for those days) document but having only a 25x40 character screen in which to do so. A long article can be found at '''[http://www.artscipub.com/history/magicwindow the ArtSci site]'''. Here are some quotes to give you the flavour. * ... use the arrow keys to move a white bar over the function you want, press Return to execute that function. * The Subsystem Menu offers six choices: ... and Exit to Basic. * ... the cursor never moves; it stays right in the middle of the screen. Instead, the "paper" moves under it, just as it does on most typewriters. That last point gave the program its name.

This change is a minor edit.
