Writing the initial version of Kedit took him about four months, in late 1982. Like a newborn bear cub, it amounted to the first one per cent of what it would eventually become. ¡°There are two kinds of editors,¡± Kearney continued. ¡°One sees things as characters; Kedit sees it as a bunch of lines. It¡¯s more primitive, in a sense, like keypunches. Each line is like one card.¡± He said he started with ¡°some things from Xedit plus suggestions from others,¡± and his goal was ¡°convenient text editing.¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°I¡¯d rather have Kedit be a good text editor than a bad word processor.¡± He asked me to take care not to create an impression that he invented much of anything. ¡°What I did was package in a useful way a number of ideas. I.B.M. seemed happy enough with the cloning. There was no hint that they objected.¡±
