Yes, I know sources are nearer fix 4. If you think we can fix the bugs
in fix 4, than it's OK. Personally, I've experienced too much problems
with fixpack 4, and have backed-out to fixpack 3.

It DOES work with recent fixpacks. I don't know about fix 4, but fix 3
is definitely working (I used it just a few minutes ago).

AFAIK, Sibyl's IDE perfectly supports CUA keys. I never used
Wordstar-style keys (never got used to those). I don't know if one can
redefine keys, cause I feel good with the current keys.

Sure, the IDE doesn't offer any facility to change keysets, but I don't
know if the sources offer a good separation for the key definitions, in
which case adding support for new keysets would be easy.

I DO know about E-MLE. E-MLE, as a control, might be more powerful (or,
at least, configurable), but it suffers from several limitations and
performance problems (e.g. when dealing with text greater than 64Kb).

Also, to integrate an E-MLE into the Sibyl IDE you should rewrite almost
everything, and I wouldn't waste manpower for this. Consider also that
Sibyl's IDE supports dockable toolbars, the tabbed multi-window
interface, and other goodies that wouldn't be easy to implement with an
E-MLE (E-MLE is a monolithic control: it includes the whole user
interface, including menu, status bar, etc).

I didn't look at Sibyl's IDE sources, but syntax highlighting may be
well separated from the rest, so it could be easier to add configurable
syntax highlighting (provided it's useful) than rewriting the whole
thing with an E-MLE.

This is obviously only my humble opinion.

Bye
