Bert, Thanks very much to you, also, for taking the time to read that document. (Some comments below.)

Randy has the > view of a user, Thanks for recognizing that. I wouldn't take that to mean that I'm the final answer on usability issues, but I do have thoughts there. I've never programmed in C or C++, and struggled everytime I've tried to read C code. I have gotten some insights recently in going through the nedit code, but it is very slow and painful. (I finally almost understand that C doesn't quite have real arrays, and that's one of the uses for pointers--I found (and have noted somewhere) a page that takes that point of view and I found it helpful).) However, if you want to "throw down" in something like Algol, Fortran, or Pascal, bring it on (or maybe I should say, if you want to go back in time, like on the order of 30 years ago--I don't know if I remember anything anymore except how to spell those) ;-) > and at least me thinks only in implementation details. Certainly, those have to be dealt with. ;-) > For example, I haven't consider this 'hierarchical' folding thing, > only 'nested' folding. > Because I programming most, but for text processing (HTML,LaTeX,wiki) > this 'hierarchical' folding is of more value. Hmm, I'm glad I used the word hierarchical then--I'm not exactly sure what additional you inferred from that word, but I almost used nested to describe it, and I guess we would have lost something. ;-) regards, Randy Kramer -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
