Hello.

I think it would be really nice if you could allow a seperate editor to 
be launched for editing event code. You could generate a temporary file 
with a name like (ObjectName_EventName.ex), then launch the editor with 
that file, watching the disck file for changes (while of course letting 
the user do other things in the IDE). This could be done as many times 
as the user wanted. It'd take care of the multiple editor windows 
problem, and allow the external editor to do whatever it wants with new 
files (add them to it's current MDI environment, open a new instance, 
whatever). I personally would love this, as I'd probably link it up to 
MSDEVSTD for it's MDI interface.
