Ok.  Here are my $0.02 worth concerning the LSP editor.  I like it, generally.
I think the formating is useful and convenient.  I find myself wishing I had
it on my IBM mainframe (Though I could simulate it, but it wouldn't be as fast
or useful).  I find that I like to d format my programs but that I don't have
any real preference as to the format used as long as its readable.  I actually
think that THINK did a good job when they kept the indent value (default?) as
low as they did.  I am forever stymied by programs whos creator chose a tab of
8 character positions!!  I don't have roving eyes that can skip half pages
to find the start of the next line!  I have a few gripes though and I wonder
if they have been dealt with in the new LSP:

1) Can lines be split (I.e. other then at a ;)?
2) Can lines be longer then 255 chars?  This is a not-uncommon ocuurence.
3) Some small display bugs that require retyping an entire line to get it
   to rescan correctely, have these been fixed?

Thanks.
