Message Edit Function Slow

[RickT137]

When using the edit function in the message editor, it is painfully slow to find the line you are asking to edit. Because the line length is completely variable (depending on text length per line, and any control characters used), the system has to sift through RAM looking for CHR$(13) to find the desired line.

Honestly, it should be quick. But it is not. Need to figure out if maybe the start pointer is too low in RAM, and it's unnecessarily scanning a bunch of memory? There must be some way to speed it up. If it is working correctly in BASIC, then perhaps this function needs to be ported to machine language. That would be simple to do.
