<Shameless plug for Accuterm> If you haven't used WED, their Windows EDitor, you're missing a ton of helpful editor stuff. All of the shortcuts and command-line tricks pale by comparison.
Funny, how everybody talks about the latest XYZ alphabetic technologies yet still use an editor barely better than vi or EDLIN. And don't let your years of experience sway you to protecting that fingertip editor. I've been using the regular EDIT, AE or vi coming up on 30 years and WED blows them all away. (this ain't a contest) WED alone without their graphical developer tools (GED) or their powerful emulator is worth the price. Accuterm is truly one of the best bargains in the MV world. </Shameless plug for Accuterm> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Banker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:21 AM Subject: RE: [U2] Over-coming EDitor shortcomings > I created a pre-store, a few years back, that does something similar > thing in the regular editor.
