* complete syntax colorization including transcript types, keywords, commands and constants.
* code indentation (haphazard, imperfect, but it does help a bit).
* handful of macros for building function, handler and other code structures.
* and of course, lots of other benefits coming from emacs itself, such as: unlimited undo, extensibility via lisp macros, and electric braces and parens.
You can download the xtalk-mode here. The mode is a text file and there is a README at the head of the file:

xtalk-mode will be especially useful in combination with my external text editor plugin for runrev, MLXEditor:
MLXEditor is a plugin for the runrev IDE that enables one to edit scripts with any text editor, provided one can write a transcript command to launch the editor with a temporary filename. MLXEditor is in BETA! so use at your own risk! Repeat- danger! It doesn't work on Windows, yet, but is working pretty good on Mac OS X. I don't know if it will work with Metacard- it probably will work without too much changes.

"But What is Emacs" you ask? See <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>
Emacs for OS X: If you use OS X, you really should download the binary app bundle of Emacs 21.3.50 I distribute. It's a Carbon build that has a complete GUI and menu system, but does not require X Windows:
