It is quite different from every other on-screen editor I have
ever used, under any OS, and I have used some really weird ones.

It's certainly NOT the way I think it should work.

OTOH, it works the way I think it should for entering stuff in the CLI.

Maybe it is just my conceptions of what I _think_ should be
happening.

Or maybe things really are wrong.

Without some standard (such as documentation) to judge it by, how can
I ever tell what is right and what is wrong?
