I had to research this word, first time I had seen it.
There is a french equivalent to it, but I never heard it either.
Glad you like it. 8-)

The module is not called "Text Editor" but "Text Formatter".
The modern equivalent for this module is LaTeX.

Basically you use the text mode of the hp-75,
you enter your text in a text file with the markup tags defined
for the module, then run your file through the text formatter
program to generate the printable format for a specific printer.

I have started to write a full screen text editor compatible with the
HP-75 and the HP-71 about a year ago, but I never had time to finish it.
I will post it here when it's done and no time frame is specified here ;-)

Best regards,

Sylvain
