QED is a fast, and easy-to-use text-editor suitable for a variety of
text editing purposes. Unlike other programs of this type, QED is not
meant strictly for programmers. QED also offers a variety of text
formatting tools, and can be configured to behave in a variety of ways.
The beginner can start using QED immediately, however underneath the easy
to use interface lies a powerful command mode language, ARexx interfacing,
macro capabilities, keyboard definitions, and much more.
