Hi David,
On 17 September 2000 at 19:43:34 GMT -0700 (which was 03:43 where I
live) David Tod Sigafoos wrote and made these points on the subject
of "New user, lotsa questions":
DTS> Heck .. one of the things I was complaining about I was told

No, you were told it wasn't the way it did it right now and we are all
anxious for the programmers to concentrate on V2 issues.
DTS> i was wrong ..
No, you were told that you were right and agreed with by everyone.
Even those that supported the opposite view had reservations.
DTS> and it was a dead horse.
Yes - because we had all said the same thing over and over again.
There was no sense in rehashing the same argument.
DTS> Only to get a message from one of the developers saying .. yep ..
DTS> we're changing it <GGGG>.
Yes, because it was *the consensus*.
DTS> So who knows .. if enough of us work with it and ask for some

.. as it has continued to do throughout the time we have all been
using it. It is very likely that v2 will see external editor support
and better option selection to allow the in-built editor to be more
conformant with WinUser expectations. I cut my compu-teeth on
mainframe terminals and (much later) DOS editors, all of which had
free carets and fixed pitch fonts. Even now, all the main programming
language UIs have the same free caret and fixed pitch. I'm right at
home here <g>. The consensus is less obvious on these issues than on
the registry/ini issue. Who can tell? It might happen anyway.
