Once upon a time, long, long ago.... there was an editor called BRIEF (by
Underware). Yes, they were an Aussie firm. Anyway, this was my favorite
editor for the longest time in DOS (Am I dating myself or what?). One
particularly neat feature was the ability to cut and paste columns. Someone
said that Visual Studio has an emulation mode for this editor. Is this
true? How can I get at it?

Thanx,
 
Can't answer your question, but depending on your requirements you might
want to look at kedit, http://www.kedit.com/

It can cut and paste streams, like most editors, or blocks. I would think
that cutting and pasting a block would be the same thing as cutting and
pasting a column. But that will depend on the particulars of what you have
in mind. It has a rich macro capability too, so you can make it do
practically anything.

I don't know if this is what you need but Visual Studio (and many other
editors) is able to select and cut/copy/paste columns or blocks. Just
hold the ALT key and make block selection with the mouse. I find this as
a "must have" feature of any text editor.
