Actually, the autoindent I want can NOT be achieved using rulers in WORD
or any other WP program. And case transposal is something I would REALLY
like to have. Just my taste, your obviously varies.

Actually, it can be. Especially if you re-hacked it just a little to
handle style sheets and proportional spacing... A fast LISP machine
should handle it real smooth...

To quote the song playing on MTv right now: I want it all (and I want
it now)

I do a lot of typing AND coding, and switching editors and missing
features in one that are available in another is a pain in the #ss.
That's my opinion. Anyone cares to mail me their suggestion of the
ultimate text input/edit program is welcome!
