I find that most of the time, I use multiple windows in CED to read different parts of the same part, or even read multiple files side by side. (On the same screen) Besides, have you noticed that CED stores the "cut" buffer between files? That means you can open a document, take that clip you want, close that document, and go to the one you want to add that clip. Agreed, editors that eliminate unnecessary features are smaller, but even so, CED is as fast as I want it to be. (I'd like it to have its own macro language, though --- a fully "low" level one, so that I can program things like show-match-mode in EMACS and add stuff like that. ARexx, good as it is, just doesn't cut it for stuff like that. Not LISP, though.. Something like forth, which is small, would be nice and fast....) >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >William F.
