Unique features

From the article: "One feature unique to PC-Write that even the latest word processors cannot perform[citation needed] was to copy and paste a block of text anywhere. For instance, if one had a block of information, one per line, in the format Name (spaces) Address, one could highlight only the addresses section and paste that into the right-hand part of a page."

I don't know about modern word processors, but back in the day, this feature was not unique to PC-Write. Wordstar at least also did it. -- Schneelocke (talk) 16:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure where the line is drawn between a "Word processor" and "text editor" but vim, emacs and many other text editors can select blocks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.3.57.68 (talk) 17:40, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Programs like vim et al can do it now. Remember, this was 25 years ago and for shareware on PCs, this feature was pretty special. StaticSan (talk) 03:37, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

How can it be unique feature if every text editor and word processor has it? I have never heard of one that does not have that feature. Before I started using PC-Write, I used Wordstar, and it had that feature even in CP/M. When I switched to use VEDIT around the year 1985, it did have option both to copy text block using one of its multiple text registers (clipboards), and to copy a marked block directly to another location without using text register (as on Wordstar). And what is the point mentioning jEdit, since all the other editors have that feature, too? --PauliKL (talk) 11:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

PC-Lite missing from the article

In college, I used a version of PC-Write known as PC-Lite, which I believe was from the same company; but that info is missing from the article. I quickly tried to find something via Google but didn't, as it kept bringing up a ton of other products. (The last search I did was: "PC-Lite" software -PUBG -IKELITE.) If anyone has info on PC Lite / PC-Lite, please add. Thank you! Misty MH (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
