new discoveries in BASIC have led to progress on this text editor:

git.sr.ht/~vidak/peoples-perma

what is to notice is how string arrays work in Stefan's Tiny BASIC.

while 8K BASIC assigns string arrays as

```
DIM STRING$(N)
```

to be used in code like this:

```
STRING$(N)
```

Stefan's Tiny BASIC requires this type of assignment:

```
DIM STRING$(LEN,N)
```

to be used in this way:

```
STRING$()(N)
```

stay tuned for more updates.
