The best part is the use of the numeric keypad (as in EDT) for performing the most common editing functions. After a little practice, you find yourself developing automatic reflexes in the fingers of your right hand, which boosts your editing speed. There are also a few EMACS-like commands, for manipulating multiple windows and editing several files simultaneously (great if you've broken your program up into several source files). There is no arbitrary limit on file size. I really like this editor and have been wondering why there hasn't been more noise made about it. Definitely worth checking out. Gordan Palameta ...!seismo!mnetor!lsuc!maccs!gordan P.S. Who's the author of the program? Many thanks... P.P.S. If you tried an earlier version of this editor and threw it out because of unbearably slow file load/save times, that problem has been fixed in later versions.
