did you ever run Tools/Window Painter? If it's no good, just let me
know. (You may get a silly expired message if you try it now, I've
been a bit tardy on my updates. If so, then you can try temp. setting
system date back to 1/1/06. I also really ought to change this from a
refusal into a nag, will do so next release.)

I don't use the ide, but if you would like to communicate with Edita
(eg open this file, jump to this line, tell me if or when a file was
last altered, etc) then the framework for this is largely there.
The file eama.ew, at only 209 lines, is probably 80% of what you might
need (though it only does what-file and message-area-text at the mo).
A quick glance at routine CDmessage in edita.exw (Please, ignore the
[undocumented] detail, just get the gist) should give you some hint at
the sort of things I have made it do (I use this in print preview,
window painter, and validate edita.edb).
Let me know if I can help.
Regards,
Pete
