Abstract
In this chapter, we demonstrate the programming techniques needed for performing the manipulations required in a Prolog text editor. An editor may handle text in units of lines, structures (such as Prolog clauses), or screens. Since Prolog-KABA, the Prolog implementation used by us, is supplied with a screen editor ‘ProEdit’, what follows will be concerned with the implementation of a line editor and a clause editor. Although it is possible to control a mouse with Prolog-KABA, and then use it for screen editing, this issue will not be discussed in the present chapter.
