Isn't Eclipse kind of project oriented? I.e. not suited for opening a single file, anywhere, and viewing/editing it. I get the impression that it prefers to have some "project" or "workspace" file which groups a set of files and contains configuration, build rules and so on. The guy three postings up suggested a general-purpose text editor. (As a side note: I don't use Eclipse myself, but I have seen novice programmers editing Python code with it, and what saw wasn't impressive. They *did* some kind of Python "plugin" installed, but were sitting there pressing SPACE to indent every line manually.) /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.se> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
