1. RE: sugestion for IDE
Hi Daryl,
When you are having name conflicts that is only when you change the
names IDE creates to something of your own, isn't it?
The only problem I've seen with Property and Tool Box window resizing is
sometimes when using the resize arrows, the Property window grows larger
than it should and Property ends up being only the title box. Is this
what you mean or are there other cases? What other windows do not resize
correctly?
Thanks for your comments.

Yes, it is. I always change the names to something a bit more meaningful
than the names provided. I would also like to have routines and variables
that are local to one window, rather than global to the whole program.

Yes, that's it. The properties box and tool box sometimes overlap or leave
a gap between them when resized, but these are minor bugs.

OK, I'll file your suggestion for a future enhancement. Code Editor is
going to be rewritten in a future release and a number of things in the
IDE generated EXW file will change.
