WEE is great!
Can I assume that oE4.1 will come bundled with WEE? I want to revise the docs on the assumption that WEE is available to all people.
Compiling WEE (under oE4.1) breaks the F5 run command: instead of running a program a new WEE window is started up. (But the interpreted version does execute.)
It would be nice if there was interactive help. For example if the cursor is on a keyword then the documentation on that keyword will be displayed. I can rework the documentation to your requirements if this can be provided in WEE.

I have no objections to this. Who wants to tackle the task of getting it in the packages?

That is up to the OE4 devs. I have no objections, and the license is MIT. My only concern is that the Scintilla shared library is over a megabyte, and it depends on how that would affect the download size.

Oh, that's because I'm getting the name of the interpreter from command_line()[1]. I'll make it possible to select which interpreter to use, which should alleviate that problem.

Yes that would be great. Any suggestions on how to do that? I'm thinking pressing F1 would look at the word under the cursor and open the html documentation in a browser for that word. Is there an index somewhere with the list of links that can be easily read by WEE?

If nobody beats me to it I will sneek a copy of WEE into the SCM and document it.
As to the overall download size we could have a "lite" download with o[4.1 only and a "mega" download with all the extras. These days something like WEE is an expected part of a modern language. The text editor would continue to exist as a demo program.
The classic F1 help button is used by Linux by various desktops. The help button on WEE would have to be something else.
At the moment there is no index to the current documentation. But, I could make one to suit the needs of WEE. The details would depend on what you need for WEE.
Thanks for making WEE for us.
