So, what good is that for those of us who live on Unix/Linux and don't have the option of running Accuterm?
I use gvim, which has pretty good syntax highlighting, copy/move/find-replace, etc. I prefer it to ED. I've never used AE. I guess it's time to do some experimenting with other technologies. OH, and just for fun, consider this: I write my HTML code with gvim or vim, period... Old School or just stubborn? hmmm.
