Hear, hear.  I'd buy a PT3 upgrade in a hot second that had a larger 
editor!!  I seem to recall seeing something from Intrec about that being a 
very major rewrite of the current editor.  Those guys are up to their ears 
in PTMac now.  Alas.

It's commercial software and is still available from the publisher:

MGR SOFTWARE, Suite 101, 305 S. State College Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92806 
(714)993-0294

That's the address in my manual; Southern CA has added an area code or two 
since I bought it, so I can't guarantee that it is still (714).  Last time 
I checked, it still costs $50.  They take plastic.

Modem MGR is an astonishingly good program for the II+ user, having 
workarounds for the II+'s limitations, a very full set of features, and it 
spports an amazing array of old peripherals.
