1. For Rob Craig - ed.ex request

A couple of suggestions/requests: 1. Add a "Full Window" option when more than one window is open. Pressing the current window(pane)'s Function key to toggle the current window from pane to full window. 2. Once a full Window option is available, the number of windows, or rather panes that can be opened can be increased to 20 by using CONTROL + FUNCTION_KEY. At some resolutions, you would have to alternate the background foreground colors of the panes. Just brainstorming, I can see how you might not want to devote any time to improving ed.ex, GUI editor's being all the rage. Ken Rhodes 100% Microsoft Free!

Thanks. I'll add these ideas to my list. An idea I had recently was some sort of mild encryption option (rot-13?) for ed, so I could keep sensitive files in a state where spyware, viruses, etc. would find it difficult to read or search the file, but when I use ed, I could easily display/edit the file, without having to remember or type any password.
