Yep, it no longer crashes now... although it'd be nice if it could do
the single-instance thing.

The other thing, whenever I try and drag-n-drop a file into the
editor, it gives me a dialog error: "can't open file: $box_char",
where $box_char is that rectangle that shows when your computer
doesn't know how to render the char in that font.
Upon clicking Ok, it opens the file correctly, and gives me an open file dialog.

Do you know what's causing the issue with position? I keep having my
editor window moved to some ridiculous position like -32000 -32000 or
something... I'm guessing you do that when a program is run, and
restore it on finish? Either way, sometimes it doesn't work, and I'm
stuck with a window that's maximised or nothing. (Gotta go into the
ini file to fix it)

Last but not least... how is it that 'parse for context sensitive
help' is stored? It keeps forgetting....
