you could try august's scfront: http://aug.ment.org/scfront/ it's hardly as full featured but it can do the trick. As others previously mentioned you can pipe code to sclang via stdin or via sclangx < /tmp/scpipe or whatever, but what you get with emacs (and I tell you, you want it) is searchable help and browsing of the classlib sources. I don't think that at the moment it's worth writing another texteditor, if you insist you can always write your sc code in vim and load it in emacs or try things like emacs vi mode http://billharlan.com/pub/emacs/ or http://www.dina.dk/~abraham/religion/poor-mans-vi-mode.html cheers, x (the heretic who uses _both_) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postmodernism is german romanticism with better http://pilot.fm/ special effects.
