Well if you want a text-editor I suggest Ted, very good although it has
Dutch menus, which may be a problem (but I think not).

But if you're programming assembler: GO GET COMPASS!!!
(Yes, I'm shouting!)

If you've once worked with it you never want to work with something else.
It's an integrated programming-environment featuring Assembler, disassembler
and monitor, with fast & easy access.
You can save to all kinds of formats and even to sectors!!!
It's p-e-r-f-e-c-t.
Well, almost. Release 2.0 will be.

??? So you want different TAB settings per instruction???
Well, if you want readability I suggest you drop your entire current layout
and go start a new one:

(when using a proportional emailbrowser):

Foobar:  ld      a,b
             djnz   Foobar


(when using a non-proportional emailbrowser):

Foobar: ld    a,b
        djnz  Foobar


Some prefer to have the labels on seperate lines because it's easier when
inserting/deleting instructions but I don't; the CTRL-L keycode of Compass
is very useful.

Also, I use lowercase characters for the code (but uppercase is nice too),
and lower+uppercase-characters for Program-labels (like Foobar), and
uppercade-labels for data:
DATA:   DB    #FF

I really hope you take over these programming-habits because it really makes
your source much easier to read, it really makes a difference!
