1. EE 1.0a update

Hi, Fellow Euphorians.

I've sent Robert an update to EE. You probably will want to keep a backup of
your old version of EE, just in case you hate the features in 1.0a.

The main change is auto completion, sort of like ED. However, EE operates a
bit differently than ED. For one thing, the FOR only completes to:

   for _ do

   end for

I've always found it a pain to skip over the "=", "to" and "by" keywords. By
the same token, functions, procedures and types do not add a "()", because
it takes longer to reach for an arrow than to just type the darned things.

Additionally, pressing the ENTER key on an auto completed line, such as:

   for i = 1 to 10_do

   end for

will place you at the end of the next line, without breaking the line you
were just on:

   for i = 1 to 10 do
       _
   end for

It obviously works like that for the rest of the control structures.

I've also added some minor tests when loading files.

Give me feedback, so I can make it better and document the bugs. (If it's
documented, it's not a bug, it's a feature).

As I have mentioned before, I use ED and am
not in the market for another editor, however
I am almost tempted by these *excellent* ideas
for auto-completion.

        I like it because of the auto formatting...though there are a couple
of bugs in formatting...Dave, I assume you know about them. Art

    My only request is to please make it optional, if you haven't.  I don't
particularly like or dislike auto completion, but if I get annoyed at it I'd
like to be able to turn it off.  :)
