Ah. Then you picked the wrong language, you should be using Python. (I'm only half joking.) I use emacs as well. I tried eclipse, but found it huge, slow, clunky, and I ran into compatibility problems between versions. I went back to emacs. I also tried visual slick edit, and it's pretty nice, but it didn't seem worth the hassle of dealing with the licensing. The Scite editor is pretty decent (I really like the folding feature), but I haven't used it much. -- Grant
