The "..." seems to be his most favourite word, lately.

        originating question may
        result from question re.
                word processor
         or
                editor
        software ...

        users of editor ( may ) have
        impression of working directly
        with file ...
        however ...
        provided file already is in being
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        at session start ...
        generally,  only

        of all ( or part ) of file
        is subject to editing ...
        not material on ( e.g. disc )
        device !
        familiarly,
        originating file is 'saved'
        under new id ...
        and freshly edited version
        replaces original ...

        'high level' summary following
        ( of generalized 'typical'
         edit session ( to modify file )
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
         ... )

        0) original file ( to be modified )

         of edit session
        ...
        1) input material is stored in
         primary memory ...
        2) input material is modified
         while in primary memory ...
        3a) originating file is saved
         ( on device ) to new id ...
        ( and )
        3b) edited material
         ( from primary memory ) is

Mr. Silverman,

Usually your posts just annoy me.  This one was actually amusing in its
incoherence.  You seem to have a slight glimmer of understanding of
programming.  Your knowledge of English, however, seems only slightly better
than that of a well-trained chimpanzee.[1]  May I recommend that in future
you attempt to write in comprehensible, well-formed sentences?  You might
also consider losing the incredibly bizarre, ugly and confusing style you
have of indenting paragraphs on several different levels simultaneously.

[1] This is not intended to start a discussion of language abilities in
    animals.  Take my word for it that chimps *do not* and *cannot* speak or
    understand human languages.  If you want to discuss this, take it up
    with me in private email, not on c.l.c.

Attempting to write in a hybrid which can be compiled by either a C compiler
or a C++ compiler produces a compromise language which combines the drawbacks
of both with the advantages of neither.
