LSP's editor isn't all that bad. It would be nice to have the option to turn the formatting on/off, but it comes in hand for catching stupid typos that you might not see until later. >WHY can't those turkeys at Think give me an editor that LETS ME MOVE FROM >LINE TO LINE WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT ARROW KEYS!?!

They have given us a great compiler and debugger - that's what I want. The editor is nice, but if I need 'the whole kitchen sink', I'll QUED/M. If you want to remap some characters - get QuickKeys. For a program priced so inexpensively, they give most users what they want. If you need the all frills editor, pay a few more dollars - it will be worth it. Brian Bezanson The opinions are my own and based on being a satisfied customer of the THINK and CE products.
