In working towards the implementation of the Series/l dis- tributed editor, there were many different tasks that had to be ABSTRACT accomplished. The first of these to be discussed is communi- cations. In order for any intelligent device to be useful to a Use of the S/l as a front end text capture tool offers high function at low host system it is necessary that this device communicate with cost. The problems of communications, word processing, and file management in a it. One of our problems in writing a host distributed Series/l distributed environment will be discussed. The high speed 370 channel interface editor was that of file communications. Secondly, in addition to communicating files or buffers between the two processors, on the S/l is used as a communications tool for host data base file and
