[Ql-Users] Question from a re-newbie
Ed (Toolkit II) is a great editor but in coming back to the QL I would have thought someone would have come up with a couple of useful tweaks by now. Such as the ability to copy and paste within the editing window and using the mouse to put the cursor just where I want it, instead of several arrow direction taps to get there. Any ideas?

Yep, that's just about right. I find myself rarely using ed nowadays, even for plain SBASIC programming. QD2 with its feature to remove and add line numbers on the fly makes editing (and properly formatting) programs much easier. I use ED only for small corrections/amendments when actually compiling.

Great, in November a Seikosha SP 1000 AS as a Sinclair OEM model. I had a genuine Seikosha in these days and the EPROM of the Sinclair one worked perfectly in it with all the letters available in the QL. Great times 8-).

Re: [Ql-Users] Question from a re-newbie
ED or QED was useful for it's simple of creating small scripts to automate some editing (like removing all CR characters from the end of a line). For more advanced features, I'd recommend MicroEmacs. The version for the QL support the PE and allows the use of the mouse. It has scripting capabilities too. As for tools for SuperBasic programming, I've got to shamelessly mention Structured SuperBasic, which is a pre-processor for SuperBasic programs that does thinks like line numbering, IF DEF statements (like C), and a tool that allows it to be called from within MicroEmacs.
